What Comes Next: Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship after Affirmative Action

Over the past half-century, historically white universities have experimented with diversifying their student and faculty bodies within the U. S. Supreme Court’s increasingly narrow definition of affirmative action. In Summer 2023, the Court ended altogether the diversity regime it created. Now, universities must ask: what comes next?

Join us for brief presentations and a reception with food and drink to kick off this year’s programming, featuring RIC director Dr. N. D. B. Connolly, RIC graduate fellow Sheharyar Imran, and RIC undergraduate fellow Natalie Wang.

Racism and Repair at and beyond Johns Hopkins University

Over the past three years, research teams funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and composed of leading experts have been excavating how academic departments in the medical sciences, social sciences, and humanities at Johns Hopkins University both created racist forms of knowledge and expertise and were reshaped by anti-racist and desegregation struggles in the twentieth century.

Join us for a symposium that will mark the first public presentation of the findings of these research teams.
