SUMMARY:"How Structural Racism Works" by Tricia Rose
DESCRIPTION:This lecture introduces Rose’s in-progress research\, video and public engagement project. In it\, Rose argues that five key drivers of structural racism—housing\, criminal justice\, education\, wealth and media—form a flexible\, highly connected apparatus. In addition\, the project highlights the role of narrative in driving structural racism as well as the problem and yet importance of making legible and compelling a progressive\, anti-racist popular narrative in a highly mass-mediated age.

SUMMARY:"Urban Removal: Police\, Prisons\, and Domestic Policy after Civil Rights" by Elizabeth Hinton

Hinton’s research focuses on the persistence of poverty and racial inequality in the 20th century United States.

SUMMARY:The 40th National Council for Black Studies Conference Call for Papers
DESCRIPTION:All abstracts must be submitted online no later than January 15\, 2016. \nOn the heels of the establishment of the first generation of Black Studies departments and programs across the United States\, starting from 1968\, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte hosted a conference of Black Studies scholars in March 1975 to create a national organization that would help guide the standardization of the curriculum\, mission\, and the accreditation of Black Studies academic units. It was from that meeting that the National Council for Black Studies was created in July 1975. Forty years later\, the field of Black Studies has grown into a formidable discipline and field of study with more than 200 degree programs at the Undergraduate\, Master’s and Doctoral levels in the United States alone. The 2016 conference of the National Council for Black Studies offers a critical juncture to reflect on the difficulties and accomplishments that have accompanied the institutionalization of Black Studies in the academy\, as well as the new opportunities and emerging challenges that deserve the attention of scholars\, activists\, and policy makers regarding the condition of black people globally. \nParticipants are invited to present new theoretical and empirical studies as well as new models of practice and social activism on a wide range of topics that deal with the Black experience globally and across time. The NCBS\, therefore\, invites abstracts for individual papers\, panels\, posters\, roundtable discussions\, and workshops on various aspects of Black Studies that are informed by historical and social science analyses\, arts and literary criticism\, philosophical reflections\, and spiritual interventions\, among others\, especially as these may relate to the issues of race\, migration\, citizenship\, social justice\, Pan-Africanism\, environmental and social sustainability\, globalization\, diaspora formations\, development and economic empowerment\, moral economy\, community formation\, sexuality\, and gender. We welcome you to submit abstracts that explore transnational\, transcultural\, transgendered approaches; studies that are place or region specific; as well those that explore the questions of modernity and the challenges of its “post” manifestations and reifications such as postcoloniality\, postmodernity\, and postraciality. \nYou are encouraged to dig deep into the intellectual history of Africana Studies and use this background to formulate inter-generational and inter-geographic theories about the black experience. We are also looking for studies that amplify and challenge seemingly centered and settled perspectives in order to explore new directions in Black Studies. For example\, what does it mean to be Africa-centered in the 21st century in the face of the new media\, digital revolution\, and hyper-globalization? What pedagogical tools make Black Studies necessary for developing a culture-conscious and history-literate global citizenry? What new insights do we offer for creating a just world? How do we develop frameworks of multi-tiered social responsibility at the individual\, family\, community\, national\, corporate\, and multinational levels for sustainable and ethical solutions to the challenges of racism\, mass incarceration\, poverty\, political apathy\, and anti-black violence? We seek to develop a conference program that defines the global black presence in accordance with the original Pan-African vision of Black Studies. \nHence\, scholars working on the black experience in North America\, the Caribbean\, Latin America\, Africa\, Europe\, Australia and Asia are invited to submit abstracts. Interested participants\, established and emerging scholars\, students and social activists\, should send an abstract of no less than 75 – 250 words for a panel (one for the panel subject and one for each panelist)\, and/or individual paper and poster presentations. \nFor round-table discussions and workshop\, please submit a 75-250 word abstract. \nFor more information visist: http://www.ncbsonline.org/

SUMMARY:Between the World and Me: Ta-Nehisi Coates in Conversation with Robin D. G. Kelley
DESCRIPTION:In a revelatory testament of what it means to be black in America today\, this timely new memoir solidifies Coates as one of today’s most important writers on the subject of race. Composed as letters to his teenage son\, Coates bears witness to his own experiences as a young black man while moving between emotionally charged reportage of the recent shootings of unarmed black men by police. Coates—a national correspondent for The Atlantic\, which published his landmark 2014 essay\, “The Case for Reparations\,” and author of the previous memoir\, The Beautiful Struggle—arrives at a transcendent vision of the past and present to offer hope for his son’s future. Join us for a momentous conversation with Coates and historian Robin D.G. Kelley about America’s way forward. \nTa-Nehisi Coates is a National Correspondent for The Atlantic and the author of the memoir The Beautiful Struggle. Coates has received The National Magazine Award\, the Hillman Prize for Opinion and Analysis Journalism\, and the George Polk Award for his Atlantic cover story\, “The Case for Reparations.” He lives in New York with his wife and son. \nRobin D. G. Kelley is the Gary B. Nash Professor of American History at UCLA. His books include the prize-winning\, Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original; Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression; Yo’ Mama’s DisFunktional!: Fighting the Culture Wars in Urban America; Three Strikes: Miners\, Musicians\, Salesgirls\, and the Fighting Spirit of Labor’s Last Century\,written collaboratively with Dana Frank and Howard Zinn; andFreedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination. His most recent book is Africa Speaks\, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times. \nReservation Policy for Free Programs:\nAs most ALOUD at Central Library programs are free of charge\, it is our policy to overbook. In the case of a FULL program your free reservation may not guarantee admission. We recommend arriving early. Space permitting\, unclaimed reservations will be released to standby patrons at approximately 7 PM. \nFor more information: http://lfla.org/event/between-the-world-and-me/
