The Forum is pleased to announce When We Do See Color: Ending Global Racism, a follow-on to the popular and insightful “Transnational Blackness” webinar held in July 2020. This 5-part monthly webinar series intentionally centers Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), their experiences, and their scholarship to familiarize international educators with issues of transnational, regional, and local racism around the world and the work being done to dismantle it.
In each conversation, our host and series curator Dr. Keshia Abraham of the Abraham Consulting Agency and elected member of the Forum Council, will be joined by two colleagues representing diverse and international perspectives to explore topics and themes related to colorism, intersectionality, language and linguistic racism, and more.
To end racism we must confront colorism and speak to some of the seeming unspeakable ways that it impacts us. In this session we feature two scholar-activists originally from India whose work has had a profound impact on Caribbean art and performance studies and global education. Annie Paul, editor-in-chief of PREE literary magazine and head of publications at SALISES who has hosted and connected international scholars within the Caribbean landscape for many years, and Joti Sekhon, recently retired sociologist and international programs director at Winston-Salem State University.
