Facing Our Fears Of Talking About Race

Racism word cloud

Next week, a small group of faculty and staff on our campus - The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - will begin a series of virtual discussions on race.

Leading the discussions will be Prof. Michelle Deardorff - who also led similar discussions over the summer.

Michelle is the Adolph S. Ochs Professor of Government - and the head of UTC’s Department of Political Science and Public Service. She joins us - along with:

- Talia Welsh, a professor of philosophy - and women, gender and sexuality studies;

- Jayda Coons, a lecturer in the Honors College where she teaches humanities courses;

- and: Anne Swedberg, an assistant professor of performing arts in the Theatre division.

Ray is the host and producer of "Scenic Roots" - Mondays through Thursdays at 3 PM - and WUTC's Editorial Director.
