with Tricia Rose
September 25, 2020
This workshop explored what systemic racism is and how it operates in American society to normalize and render invisible the highly consequential workings of anti-Black racism. We focused on how systemic racism distorts the processes, experiences, and core features of the academic community including: the academic pipeline and hiring; the mythical "level playing field"; and ways of thinking, evaluating, and mentoring that deeply shape our faculty composition and outcomes. What role should a systemic analysis play in generating a diverse faculty and shaping diversity efforts in higher education?
The workshop featured a presentation by Tricia Rose, Chancellor's Professor of Africana Studies, Associate Dean of the Faculty for Special Initiatives, and Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America (CSREA) at Brown University.
