Hello all,

On behalf of the Racial Justice Working Group, I'd like to thank everyone who
has participated in a RJWG event so far in the series. I could not be happier
about the conversations that have spurred from each of these events, and I hope
that they have inspired you all to think with race in anthropology differently
as well as to take action towards change and growth here in our own department.

I am very excited to announce the last event in the series. On Wednesday March
23rd from 18:00-17:30, our own anthropology podcast Talking Culture will host a
panel discussion with the hosts of the podcast Zora's Daughters.

Alyssa A.L. James and Brendane Tynes are two Black women
anthropologists-in-training who follow in the legacy of Zora Neale Hurston and
other Black women ethnographers. In their podcast Zora's Daughters, they dig
deeper into social issues in a way that is accessible and entertaining. By
prioritizing the issues of Black women and other marginalized groups, they
empower listeners to develop the tools and language that start conversations
and spark change. Their conversation with the Talking Culture hosts, Meghan
McGill, Daniel Chiu Castillo, and myself, will touch on podcasting as
pedagogy—the teaching and learning that takes place on Zora's Daughters and how
anthropology departments can better become more encouraging, nurturing, and
safe spaces for black students.

This event is open to all members of our anthropology community—faculty,
graduate students, undergraduate students, and staff. Please join us in this
exciting discussion! You can register for the event here:

am truly looking forward to closing off our series with you all.

Best,
