Social Justice Week 2021 examines the waves of change that have touched communities locally and nationally. From new opportunities for solidarity to challenges and setbacks during successive waves of the COVID crisis, this year’s events spotlight the ways in which movements and groups have mobilized to navigate the ebbs and flows of progress. Each event invites listeners and participants to reflect on how communities can break down, and overcome, the deep-seated structural inequalities that threaten our collective capacities and potential.
Organized as a series of live events and podcasts, Social Justice Week 2021 is designed to raise awareness and inspire further action. Podcasts will be aired on SoundCloud and on campus radio: CJRU 1280AM. Events and podcasts include captioning and ASL interpretation.
