TOWARD JUSTICE FOR ALL: The Global Impact of Humanities Research
MON, TUES, WED | OCT 26, 27, 28
Web Premieres @ 4PM daily
PechaKucha Presentations by College of Humanities Faculty
Faculty across the College of Humanities are engaged in research and scholarship that address systemic racism and discrimination. Hear about concrete activities from a variety of disciplines working to counteract these prevailing inequalities and how this research can lead to a better tomorrow. Presenters will reflect on their own work and articulate what the audience can take away from the Toward Justice series as they become advocates for greater freedom, equality and justice for all.
Japanese for ‘chit-chat,’ PechaKucha is a storytelling format in which a presenter shows 20 slides for 20 seconds of commentary each, totaling 6 minutes 40 seconds. Presentations are grouped together for a fast-paced, simple and engaging showcase of new topics and ideas.
