    Equity in Education

    Thursday, October 21, 2021
     4:15PM to 6:45PM
    Hilles 109 & Zoom

    Matt McKeever will be presenting a talk on "Equity in Education," with responses by David Karen (Bryn Mawr), Kim Goyette (Temple), and Carly Goodman (Washington Post). How should we think of inequality in education? What counts as educational equity, and what are the obstacles to it? Inspired by the Strategic Planning Framework's commitment to structural change toward equity and inclusion, this symposium explores how sociology of education studies these questions, illustrating the ideas with research done in South Africa, Hungary, and Taiwan. It then addresses what we might do next, and how to get a public hearing for these ideas. We hope that you can join us in person, but those off campus can also join via Zoom.

    The Contest of the Fruits - Red-Black Thread Lecture-Performance with Slavs and Tatars and Professor Zain Abdullah

    Wednesday, October 27, 2021
     4:30PM to 6:30PM
    Online Event

    Red-Black Thread explores the construction of black identity not from the traditional Anglophone and Francophone worlds of the Atlantic but rather from the Russophone idiom of imperial Russia and the Soviet Union. Commissioned by the Walker and Metropolitan Museums on the occasion of the Siah Armajani retrospective “Follow This Line”, Red-Black Thread looks at the experience of labor, race, and sexuality from a shared Russian/Soviet and African-American perspective to better understand failed promises of conviviality and co-existence. Free with RSVP.
