3216 - Feeling Race: Reparations, Radical Research, Resilience, and Restorative Justice

Mon, August 13, 10:30am to 12:10pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, 109AB

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Description

To feel race is to live race in all of its moments, its tragedies, its pseudo-accomplishments, and its realities. A reality, albeit socially constructed, that has definite consequences for those who experience race in all its many dimensions, colors, situations, and spaces. These consequences that include discrimination and social dislocations, criminalization and recrimination, esteem and prestige, victimization and valorization. Feeling race produces both rage and laughter, sadness and joy as it produces and reproduces U.S. social structures. National and international sociologists will serve on a panel that will explore various responses, remedies, and reactions to feeling race. They will individually explore and interrogate living race as it relates to reparations, radical research, resilience, and restorative justice.
