Presenter: Dr. Alex Pieterse, PhD

This Webinar will examine the phenomenon of racism within Academia and will consider strategies for resistance, coping and healing. The experience of Black, Indigenous and other People of Color will be highlighted, through a review of the empirical research plus drawing on material from the SPOKENproject. The benefits of critical consciousness raising, building anti-racism alliances, and reforming protocols associated with promotion and tenure will be discussed. Finally, participants will engage in a process designed to establish ongoing working groups with the aim of documenting experiences and producing scholarship outlining anti-racist strategies and initiatives for Academia.
