This event is a part of the 2020 Fall Diversity & Inclusion Summit

Join Dr. Jennifer Ho, director of the Center for Humanities & the Arts and Professor in Ethnic Studies, who will be in conversation with Linds Roberts, CU Boulder Librarian, for this session that will help participants address anti-Asian racism. Among the challenges of living in the midst of a global pandemic is seeing and feeling the impacts of systemic racism made more acute during COVID times. One manifestation is an increase in anti-Asian racism, whose rise has followed the rise of COVID-19 in the US. As an anti-racism/Asian American studies scholar and educator, Dr. Ho will guide participants through a publicly available slide deck to educate people about the dangers of saying “Chinese virus” and to encourage people to develop resilience against racism and to become anti-racism allies and educators.
