AMERICA'S BLACK-WHITE DIVIDE:
Looking Back, Looking Around, Looking Forward
|
|
March 18 | 1p PST
Should we regard the Trump years as akin to the fall of Reconstruction in the 19th Century? Is a great success and stride forward like the election of Barack Obama destined to galvanize countervailing social forces that constitute an enormous step backwards on racial progress? Is the challenge of achieving racial justice today as deep and intractable a problem as ever or are the circumstances different and better, providing grounds for optimism? What should we expect for the course of Black-white relations over the next decade or two given the trends currently at work?
Join former CCSRE Director Lawrence Bobo (Harvard), Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (Harvard), Claude Steele (Psychology), and moderator Margaret Levi, Director of CASBS, to address these important and timely questions.
This event is produced by CASBS in partnership with the program in African and African American Studies at Stanford University, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity at Stanford University.

A Conversation with Duana Fullwiley
|
|
March 10 | 4p PST
CCSRE Faculty Affiliate Duana Fullwey is an anthropologist of science and medicine interested in how social identities, health outcomes, and molecular genetic findings increasingly intersect. In her first book, The Enculturated Gene: Sickle Cell Health Politics and Biological Difference in West Africa (Princeton, 2011), She draws on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork in the US, France and Senegal. By bringing the lives of people with sickle cell anemia together with how the science about them has been made, The Enculturated Gene examines postcolonial genetic science, the effects of structural adjustment on health resources, and patient activism between Senegal and France to show how African sickle cell has been ordered in ethnic-national terms at the level of the gene.
This lecture is presented by the Program in Science, Technology, and Society and open to Stanford students, faculty, and staff.
