Description
On June 25, 2020, the CSRRR hosted a webinar discussion on whether UF should mandate a course on race/anti-racism. Prof. Katheryn Russell-Brown (Law and CSRRR Director) moderated the panelists, including Prof. Christopher Busey (College of Education), Prof. Lance Gravlee (Anthropology), Dr. Diedre Houchen, Postdoctoral Associate (CSRRR), Prof. Aida Hozic (Political Science), and Prof. Patricia Hilliard-Nunn (African American Studies). There were approximately 300 participants.
This document synthesizes the perspectives presented by the scholars. It is our hope that professors, educators, administrators, other groups, and members of the general public can utilize this information. We believe the issues raised in this discussion will be valuable to institutions and individuals who are considering how to teach and talk about race, racism, and race relations, in light of the social protests that have taken place around the world following George Floyd’s killing.
