Racial Reckonings & the Future of Humanities: Centering Race Consortium Conference

Begins
Apr. 28

Through April 29, 2021
Zoom

The term “reckoning” denotes acts of calculation, estimation and debts paid. It can carry a sense of a future settlements. It also refers to “ideas, opinions and judgments” as in the phrase, “I reckon.” To what extent, and how, might we imagine a racial reckoning via new work in arts and humanities?

The recently formed Centering Race Consortium brings together researchers at four institutions: Brown, Stanford, the University of Chicago and Yale to “center” racial justice in the pursuit of humanistic inquiry. This work is supported by the Mellon Foundation.
