The Critical Data Studies Collective at Purdue University will be hosting a moderated virtual teach-in on “Do Black Lives Matter to the University? Science, Technology, and the Racial-Colonial Legacies of Higher Education,” followed by a virtual reception. This virtual teach-in will consider a range of questions, including what are the university’s disparate impacts on Black lives through research, policing, and austerity measures? What justice-oriented responses are possible that center people of color? To explore the university’s enduring role in racial injustice and how to challenge it, the teach-in will feature a conversation between Dr. Davarian L. Baldwin, Dr. Darrin Johnson, and Audrey Beard.
This virtual event is possible thanks to the support of an Enabling Inclusion grant from the Purdue Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Leadership Excellence, and it is free to participate, open to the public, closed captioned, and ASL interpreted.
