"Diversity and Social Justice in Education," a Talk by Renowned Scholar Khalil Gibran Muhammad  

How can we practice diversity in our classrooms? And what does "diversity" even mean? The renowned scholar Khalil Gibran Muhammad, currently Professor of History, Race, and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, will be on campus Thursday, April 19th at 5 p.m. to deliver a talk entitled "Diversity and Social Justice in Education."

Dr. Muhammad's groundbreaking research on racial equity and social justice has catapulted him to the forefront of our current discussions on identity and history: he has contributed to a National Research Council study, The Growth of Incarceration in the United States: Exploring Causes and Consequences, and is the author of The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America (Harvard), which won the John Hope Franklin Best Book Award in American Studies. Recently, he has appeared in the popular documentaries 13th (Netflix), Slavery By Another Name (PBS), and Forgotten Four: The Integration of Pro Football (Epix). Join us for this important talk, sponsored by the Lewinson Center for the Study of Labor, Inequality, and Social Justice.

The talk will take place Thursday, April 19th at 5 p.m. in Nursing 113.
