“How Do I Move Forward . . .?” Catholic Colleges and Universities' Efforts to Transform Systemic Racism

Sun, April 14, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Room 402

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Catholic Colleges and Universities (CCUs) in the U.S.A. are responding to a reckoning of historical racial biases with initiatives to reimagine education. This symposium focuses on institutional actions, from administrators to classroom practices, to integrate antiracism during a time of increased tension about the purpose and future of this work. Each presenter shares research that responds to the question: How are CCUs living their Catholic missions through their support of justice and equity initiatives? Underscoring each is a belief in the necessity of transformation. We link this transformation to Catholic social thought across institutions. In doing so, we respond both to this moment and anticipate what is needed for the future.
