SUMMARY:ICLS's webinar series: "Understanding Systemic Racism"
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Comparative Literature and Society is committed to the goal of social justice through education and critical scholarship. To address the urgent need to combat racism in our times\, we introduce a new 2020-2021 conversation/lecture series called “Understanding Systemic Racism” to reflect on the roots of racial discrimination\, class oppression\, colonial injustice\, and other institutionalized oppression and sanction for violence against Black people and peoples of color. We stress the importance of opening the U.S. centered conversations surrounding race and identity toward a broad and comparative reckoning with racism and its violent histories around the world. This exciting webinar series is programmed in conjunction with our Ambedkar Initiative that links Columbia University with the anti-caste legacy of B. R. Ambedkar to reflect on his continued relevance to discussions about social justice\, affirmative action\, and democratic thinking in a global frame.\n\nThe event schedule:\n\n“Isaac Woodard and Isabel Wilkerson”\nGayatri Chakravorty Spivak\, University Professor\nFriday September 25  – Recording available on ICLS Columbia Youtube\n“Race\, the Human and Humanity in These Times”\n \nÉtienne Balibar\, Columbia University\nwith Nahum Chandler\, UC Irvine\nFriday\, October 9 at 12:00PM EST\n\n“Urban Democracy: Caste and the City”\nSuryakant Waghmore\, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay\nFriday\, October 23 at 10:00AM EST\n \n“Race\, Caste and Democracy”\nNico Slate\, Carnegie Mellon University\nFriday\, November 6 at 12:30PM EST\n \nThe Third Annual Ambedkar Lecture\n“Race\, Caste and Social Justice”\nIsabel Wilkerson\, author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents\nFriday\, November 13 at 6:30PM EST\n\n*this event is only open to CU/Barnard affiliates*\nRegistration opens October 15 at 12:00PM EST\n\nThe Third Annual Ambedkar Lecture is cosponsored by the Office of EVP of Arts and Sciences; Barnard Provost’s Office; Office of the Deans of Humanities and Social Sciences; IRAAS; AAADS; IRCPL; MESAAS; CSER; CU Libraries; and CU Press\n
