Since fall, I have been a Bannan Institute Scholar for Racial and Ethnic Justice at Santa Clara University. As a part of this grant, I have spoken on a panel and met in a workshop with the other scholars and Bannan Institute fellow. This week, the Integral podcast episode that I recorded on race and social media as a part of the Bannan Institute is now available.
On October 5, I had the opportunity to speak with a Bannan Institute faculty collaborative on a roundtable panel, addressing the question of 'what is at stake for racial justice in 2016?' With the presidential election next month, the question particularly resonated in terms of the political rhetoric that has included xenophobia, among other demonstrative abuses of power through language. Faculty fellow Brett Solomon opened and facilitated the discussion, and Anthony Hazard and William O'Neil S.J. provided excellent insights into the nuances and complexities of the issue at this historical moment.
