Conversations on Race & Anthropology is an Ithaca College student inspired and student driven conversation series that tackles the connections between anthropology and race, focusing on race and its intersections with other systems of oppression. Why do anthropology departments need these kinds of conversations? The history of anthropology is rooted in colonialism and the creation of race as a system of inequality. Much of anthropology today focuses on the positive contributions of anthropologists, but not so much on the legacies of racism and its impacts today. This conversation hopes to create a dialectic to redress this by bringing together campus communities with anthropologists of color and anthropologists from other underrepresented groups who interrogate racialization and racism with other systems of oppression in their research. Conversations on Race & Anthropology aims to spark conversation and engagement within anthropology to explore and develop new holistic, critical and interdisciplinary tools for how to dismantle systems of oppression in and outside the discipline.
