Summaries

Summary Sentence: Sponsored by Student Diversity Programs, this workshop is the first in a series of programs that explore the many layers of structural racism.

Full Summary: Structural Racism is considered by many to be the most profound type of racism because it is infused in all aspects of society (e.g. history, culture, politics, and economics).  The workshop will serve as an introduction to structural racism, address the complexities of structural inequalities, and identify impacts at national, state, and institutional levels. More events for the Environmental Justice Series sponsored by SLS can be found on the SLS Site.
