A Department of Reparations? New Directions in the Study of Racism, Diaspora, & Indigeneity at Johns Hopkins

Description

The Program in Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship (RIC) is pleased to host a roundtable to kick off the 2022–2023 academic year. Titled "A Department of Reparations?" the roundtable will feature Lisa Lowe (a professor of American studies and of ethnicity, race, and migration at Yale) and Adom Getachew (an assistant professor of political science at the University of Chicago) in conversation with RIC Director Nathan Connolly and Joyce Wang, '22. A reception will follow the roundtable.

This roundtable will assess new directions in the study of racism, diaspora, and indigeneity* at Johns Hopkins University. Featuring eminent colleagues, as well as a presentation from undergraduate organizers, the event will open up space to think through the future of scholarly approaches to the study of racism and the relationship between the academy and anti-racist organizing and repair more broadly.
