(Un)Knowing Inequality: A Critical Race Psychology Perspective on Engaging Systemic Racism

Tue, March 28, 2023
Dinner Program
Phia Salter

Phia Salter, associate professor of psychology at Davidson College, will discuss how what we collectively remember or forget about the historical past has social and psychological implications for contemporary race relations. Informed by critical race and cultural-psychological perspectives, she will share data highlighting the relationship between systemic racism and engaging (or disengaging) with Black History.

Professor Salter's Athenaeum presentation is supported by CMC's Presidential Initiative on Anti-Racism and the Black Experience in America.
