Race in Global Perspective

The global reach of the Black Lives Matter movement has spurred reflection on race, racism, and anti-Blackness around the world. Too often, though, they are seen as uniquely US American phenomena. This panel brings together four scholars of race as it plays out in Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East and North Africa for a conversation moderated by Prof. Ann Morning, Academic Director at 19 Washington Square North.
