Ours is a culture of competing conversations. On any given day, we hear people argue that we live in a post-racial society, our news headlines include stories of racial violence and students on campuses across our country challenge both ongoing racial climate concerns and the lack of appropriate institutional response.
This two-hour workshop, to be held on Tuesday, Feb. 5, in Talley Student Union, Room 4280 from 9:00-11:00 a.m., is open to NC State undergraduates, graduate students, staff, faculty and alumni as well as interested members of the local community. The workshop will help participants contextualize these conversations within our specific history of race relations, understand the ways racism operates (interpersonally, culturally, institutionally) and reflect on the ways each of us can and must play a role in creating cultural change.
