(DePaul University/Josh Woo)Urgent times demand urgent action. Please join the DePaul community in a TEACH IN on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2020 to address and discuss racism and the violence that has been occurring in Chicago, Kenosha and other American cities. Presentations will also touch on themes from the Black Lives Matter Movement, American democracy and issues of social justice more broadly.
A group of DePaul faculty from diverse disciplines will make presentations and host discussions to provide a space to better understand and reflect on these urgent issues as we begin a new academic year and approach the Nov. 3 election.
All members of the DePaul community are invited to participate. Zoom links will be made available for each individual session. Contact Professor Matthew Girson with any questions or concerns.
