Speakers will examine the role that universities have had in cultivating racism and (settler) colonialism, the present challenges they face in disbanding unequal and oppressive narratives, as well as the future opportunities to contribute meaningfully to an anti-racist and anti-colonial agenda. This second session will consider the present with experts debating the current role of a university in cultivating inequalities. The panelists will each have 10 minutes to provide remarks, followed by 50 minute Q&A discussion. Register via: https://global.uconn.edu/?p=4941 -
