We Center Blackness: Howard, Diversity, and Diaspora

In celebration of the inauguration of President Ben Vinson III, the Office of the Provost presented a four-part faculty forum series on the topics of diaspora and diversity. Faculty from the full range of academic disciplines shared perspectives on the ways the university historically and contemporarily practices and embodies diversity and diaspora. The diaspora studies panels examined past and current initiatives at Howard that engage Africa and her diaspora and proposed forward-looking frameworks that leverage our unparalleled expertise in the field. The diversity panels sought to illustrate Howard’s diversity—of thought, of race and ethnicity and nationality, of class and social positioning, for instance -  reveal how conversations that center Blackness foster equity and liberation beyond racial categories. Graduate Dean Dana Williams was a participant in this series.
