Hi, welcome to the CIARS in Conversation series where we talk to local and international scholars, researchers, Elders, community leaders, artists, community activists, students, and educators on topics that critically explore a plethora of topics, theories, and concepts that surround the theme of anti-Black racism and anti-racism. Some of the topics include Anti-Black Racism in Schooling and Beyond, Islamophobia and Anti-Muslim Racism, Black and Indigenous Solidarity, Defunding the Police, Beyond Brown Solidarity, Black Feminisms and much more! We are thrilled and inspired to launch this series and cannot wait for all of the teachings. We hope you join us for these critical conversations!
