OVERVIEW

The fluidity of ideas around race and racisms call for different frameworks for understanding the nature of structural forces and everyday experiences of racial inequality, exclusion, and discrimination. For this series of blog posts, we will examine how scholars use the tools of social sciences to examine critical issues around race and racisms as they connect to current events

• How is race and racisms framed in relation to pressing issues such as climate change, democracy, the pandemic, capitalism, polarization, among others? How might frames of race and racism mobilized by politicians, academics, the media as they talk about pressing current events be different than (or mask) what people experienced on the ground? Are there ways of representing race and racisms that can draw attention to both direct and indirect (even unintentional) forms of racism and their interconnections? What insights does social science research on race and racisms bring to bear on pressing global issues today?
