By Perry King
Watch “Black faculty in conversations with our communities about our collective futures in COVID times,” featuring OISE professors George Dei, Njoki Wane, Ann Lopez, Fikile Nxumalo, Lance McCready, Rosalind Hampton and Andrew Campbell.
With the coronavirus pandemic making any in-person events impossible, OISE’s equity committee brought together six OISE-based Black faculty – Professor George Dei, Professor Njoki Wane, Professor rosalind hampton, Professor Lance McCready, Professor Andrew Campbell and Professor Ann Lopez – for a critical online conversation.
Titled “Black faculty in conversations with our communities about our collective futures in COVID times,” the panel brought forward thoughts about communities and their collective futures – especially during the pandemic.
With hundreds of attendees online, the panel also answered questions from guests – everything from the possibilities of their current work and understanding conversations around Blackness to notions of resistance in the Black diaspora and insights into understanding systemic racism and its exposure during the coronavirus pandemic.
