Empowering Change with Brown Professors Anthony Bogues and Tricia Rose

On January 27, 2022, hundreds of alumni gathered to learn from two of Brown’s leading scholars who illuminated the work of two of Brown's preeminent research centers: the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America (CSREA) and the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice (CSSJ). The centers’ innovative approach to knowledge creation weaves rigorous academic research with artistic endeavors and humanities projects that engage people in reflection and dialogue about race and ethnicity, slavery, and the unjust legacies impacting our present. Through these endeavors, CSREA and CSSJ are helping to shift our societal narratives, creating paths of understanding that make a more just world possible.

Provost Richard M. Locke facilitated the conversation with CSSJ Director B. Anthony Bogues ADE'02 hon. and CSREA Director Tricia Rose AM'87 PhD'93, P'14, addressing how the work of the centers is shaping our society’s understanding of the issue of race, the legacy of slavery, and the process of reconciling with the past.
