VIRTUAL EVENT: What might sustain the activism of this moment?
28 Oct 2020, 17:30 – 19:00
For more information and to register for the event, please contact Alison Brady.
Anti-racist critical public pedagogies leverage the ‘collective voice’ of protestors as ‘public power’ to affect sociopolitical change.
In this webinar, Dr Perhamus and Professor Joldersma argue that monument topplings constitute anti-racist critical public pedagogies which:
- critique the inequities proliferated by relationships of power in the public sphere
- interrupt these inequities through embodied practices
- offer a vision for equitable racial social change.
They will propose that the elements of racial honesty, culture of praxis, and radical imagination and love are critical for sustaining the activism of this moment.
