The Speaks-Warnock Symposium on Race and Racism at the University launches a campus-wide discussion of the legacies of slavery, segregation and racism at UD and in Delaware from 1743 to the present, as well as the unacknowledged displacement of indigenous people from their lands. The symposium is part of the UD Antiracism Initiative, a multiyear collaborative project with a variety of faculty, departments and programs across the university working to grapple with and remedy racism at the University of Delaware and in the state of Delaware.
With guest scholars Alyssa Mount Pleasant (University at Buffalo), Hillary Green (University of Alabama), Jody Allen (a UD alumna who leads the Lemon project at the College of William and Mary) and Rhondda Thomas (Clemson University).
This event is open to undergraduate students. Please register for this workshop in advance.
