2020 Overcoming Racism Conference November 13-14
Overcoming Racism: Taking Back “We the People”

What does it mean to be “We the People” through an antiracist lens, in these times? How do we address the rise of right wing populism worldwide? In the USA, Brazil, the UK, Hungary and Turkey, right wing populism and neo-fascism are taking hold. In all cases, the divides are ethnic and cultural. In the USA, the fault lines are explicitly racialized. How do we take back, or claim for the first time in our history, the idea that “all means all” when we talk about “We the People”?

Conference Keynote Presenters:

November 13th: Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., Noted Scholar on African American Culture & James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor.

November 14th: Funny Asian Women’s Kollective (FAWK). FAWK exists to combat the invisibility and dehumanization of Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) women.

Each afternoon offers a rich array of intriguing breakout workshops - you will choose your workshops when you register. All the details are waiting for you on the conference registration website.

Birchbark Books is partnering with us to sell Eddie S. Glaude Jr.'s book Begin Again through the online marketplace on our virtual conference website. We encourage you to buy it through Birchbark.
