Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/group/3258/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. Organizations across sectors made anti-racist commitments. Where are we now? (April 4, 2024 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/120543 120543-21844883@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 4, 2024 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

Strategies and programs were developed. Task forces and committees were created. What are the outcomes of these efforts so far?

Catalytic moments such as the COVID pandemic, the murder of George Floyd, and the racial justice movements highlight the need to address systems of oppression that continue to disadvantage and harm communities of color. Organizations across sectors made commitments to adopt anti-racist strategies and dismantle systems. Join a discussion with scholars and community partners on the challenges and opportunities of anti-racism commitments and efforts.

This event is based on the special issue: Are Anti-Racism Efforts Having an Impact in Organizations and Communities? published by the Currents: Journal of Diversity Scholarship for Social Change.

The rubric of “inclusive history” has achieved a common currency. Today, you can find books, articles, websites, and university policies dedicated to its practice, including a large and ambitious Inclusive History Project (IHP) right here at U-M. Less clear is what this rubric has come to signify and enable over time. What values, methods, and practices bind the groundswell together?

This symposium will explore such questions through the lens of oral history. Drawing on the perspectives of three scholars in different fields, we will explore the potential uses of oral history work for projects that are public facing, DEI-centered, and explicitly reparative. How does the practice of oral history change the ways we think about our audiences, our work with community partners, our research, and the potential impacts of our scholarship?

Camron Amin (Professor of Middle East and Iranian Diaspora Studies; Director of Research, Inclusive History Project; University of Michigan-Dearborn)

Lorena Chambers (Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Inclusive History Project, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor)
Jay Cook (moderator; Professor of History and American Studies; Director of Research, Inclusive History Project; University of Michigan-Ann Arbor)
