VIRTUAL EVENT: Wading through troubled waters on race

For more information and to register for the event, please contact Alison Brady.
In this event, Professor Sheron Fraser-Burgess will explore Cornel West’s Black prophetic corrective of political pragmatism.
Drawing on Brettschneider’s (2007) formulation of the problem of marginalisation, she argues that West offers a pragmatic reconstruction of democracy that introduces a category of participatory democratic discourse called race talk.
The monuments controversy is offered as an example.
