Confronting Institutional and Systemic Racism

This panel will address two questions: what is institutionalized racism? how do we navigate a system when we are still a part of it? The goal is to give university affiliated individuals who have experienced institutionalized racism, either consciously or unconsciously, the tools to handle and combat it.
