Countering Attacks on Diversity hosted by Boston University Law Review

Join the Boston University Law Review for a panel discussion on countering recent attacks on diversity with Professors Jasmine Gonzales Rose, Jonathan Feingold, and Vinay Harpalani in Barristers Hall from 2:00–2:45pm, followed by a fireside chat with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi and Dean Angela Onwuachi-Willig in the Law Auditorium from 3:00–4:00pm. Lunch will be available at 1:30pm before the panel begins. Many of these civil rights attacks manifest as opposition to diversity or difference. These attacks often occur in the educational space, where the usefulness of critical thinking, holistic understanding, and elevating unheard voices has been often subject to skepticism. As the Supreme Court has changed the landscape of inclusive practices, it is worthwhile to have a discussion on the importance of promoting diversity. How can educational institutions and legal systems continue to pursue diversity and multicultural competency?
