Addressing an Era of Transatlantic Racial Reckoning: Imagining
Anti-Racist Academic Worlds in the United Kingdom and the United
States of America

Participants will identify commonalities and differences between the
institutional contexts and engage in discussions about the shared and
unique aspects of navigating an academic existence for BIPOC community
members.
