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.
Part 4, The Power of Language: Addressing Linguistic Racism, February 11, 11am EST: Pay what you can pricing Communication is key! In this session Professors Marlon Swai and Hiram Smith will be discussing the politics of language vis a vis identity and culture with Dr. Keshia Abraham. We will explore race and class implications on language as experienced around the world, (specifically in South Africa, Latin America and the United States) while centering Black intellectual traditions and the complexities of “nation language”.
