Dear all,
On behalf of CCA (Chinese Communication Association), I'd like to announce our 5th Solidarity Symposium "Race, Communication, and Decolonial Futures", to be held on July 7. Speakers will include Paula Chakravartty (Associate Professor, NYU), John L. Jackson Jr. (Professor & Dean, UPenn Annenberg), Bingchun Meng (Associate Professor, LSE), and Wanning Sun (Professor, U of Tech Sydney). Please see attached our official poster.
The lynching of George Floyd viewed by millions has altered the global course of events since the viral outbreak. What's the role of comm scholars in response? How to conceptualize broader issues of racial justice, such as White privilege, settler colonialism, slavery, including anti-Chinese and anti-Asian racism and Islamaphobia, during the pandemic and historically? Racism also exists within the ivory tower. How can we reform -- even subvert -- our teaching, research and services, in order to move towards decolonial futures in comm studies?
We will address these questions. You're most welcome to join our discussion at: Tuesday, 7 July 2020 US (EDT): 8-10am London (BST): 1-3pm GMT+8 (China): 8-10pm Sydney (AEST): 10pm-midnight
