The Race/Knowledge Project is dedicated to interrogating the contemporary status of race within what is increasingly understood as the global university and its intricate connections to our local communities.
The contours of our work in the previous two years have included public lectures, round tables, study groups, conferences, and other events designed to engage people from disparate locations in dialogue about understandings of race and manifestations of racism in our present times.
Our focus for the upcoming year will be to expand and deepen our collaborative and coalitional partnerships across institutions, communities, and disciplines.
