The aim of the conference is to bring together >scholars, students and activists to discuss issues relating to 'race', >racialisation and racisms, to strategize for the future and to generally >create closer links between people involved with these issues. The >organising committee will put a special emphasis on creating an informal >atmosphere to encourage exchange of ideas, constructive discussion, and >friendly interaction among the conference participants. That way, perhaps, >we will be able to facilitate the creation of stronger and more permanent >links and networks among the participants. Further, we hope the conference >will work as a vehicle to address issues relating to 'race' and racism in >the university. > >The conference is generously sponsored by the Canadian Race Relations >Foundation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, >Multiculturalism British Columbia and the University of Victoria Faculty of >Humanities, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Social Sciences, Humanities Centre, >Department of History, Department of Political Science, Department of >Sociology, Department of Women's Studies, Office of Equity Issues and >President David Strong. >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >- African Ancestored Genealogy Discussion >- To unsubscribe, email: Majordomo@MsState.Edu >- In body of message: unsubscribe afrigeneas >- >- Afrigeneas archives: http://www.msstate.edu/listarchives/afrigeneas/ >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >
