Event Description
You are invited to the Department of Global Studies and
Modern Languages first online Global Passport Series (GPS) event. This free
event is co-sponsored by the Department of Global Studies and Modern Languages
and the College of Arts and Sciences.
In summer 2020, the United States experienced the largest,
most sustained protests for racial justice in its history, spurred by the
murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers. Uprisings flared in
cities across the country, including Philadelphia.
At Drexel, top
administrators announced new institutional commitments to anti-racism. In this
talk, Amelia Hoover Green, PhD, associate dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion
in the College of Arts and Sciences, discusses the progress and prognosis of
anti-racism initiatives at Drexel, including their complex relationships to
politics in Philly and across the country.
The annual Drexel Global Passport Series (GPS), organized by
the Department of Global Studies and Modern Languages, seeks to facilitate
global conversations at Drexel and in Philadelphia to ensure rich student
engagement and build strong partnerships with local communities and
organizations.
