[Cancelled] Critical Race Theory: What Is All The Controversy About?

This event has been cancelled due to presenter availability. We hope to reschedule this or a similar topic with our presenter in the coming month or two. Please check our online events calendar for more great programming like this. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

Critical race theory is an approach to issues of race, social structure, and history that has caused intense disagreement among analysts and activists of various political schools. This talk describes the doctrine, analyzes the sources of disagreement about it, and suggests ways of resolving the conflict. This talk will be presented by Dr. Richard E. Rubenstein, University Professor of Conflict Resolution and Public Affairs in the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University. 

This lecture is made possible in part by George Mason University’s Mason Speakers program, “Connecting the University with the Community.” For information on how to book a speaker visit Mason Speakers
