Reading Sula: A Tribute to Toni Morrison

Reading Sula: A Tribute to Toni Morrison is an event dedicated to engaging with Morrison’s second novel “Sula.” From 9:30 am to 4:30 pm in Minor 110, volunteers will read passages from the novel. Drop in at any point during this window to listen to or to participate in reading the novel! We will have light refreshments during the event.

Following the reading, there will be a roundtable discussion from 5:00 pm to 6:00pm in Minor 125. 

Currents in Conversation: "The Prison Strike and the Carceral State"

The "Currents in Conversation" fora explore issues and topics dominating the headlines, airwaves, and social media platforms with implications for the study of race. This Fall, we pick up on a topic that has received precious little air-time on major news organizations: the Nationwide Prison Strike, which took place across 13 states from August 21st - September 9th, 2018. 

Panelists Include:
