4:30-5:35 pm: All Summit participants will attend a conversation between Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities and the Director and Founder of the Center for Anti-Racism Research at Boston University and Dr. RL Watson, Assistant Professor of English and African American Studies at Lake Forest College.
5:35-5:45 pm: 10 minute break
5:45-6:00 pm: Summit participants will move into breakout rooms to meet their small group cohort, assign roles and select materials for upcoming discussions, and schedule two cohort meetings that will take place at times of your group's choosing between 1 April and 13 April. As a reminder: the Summit Planning Committee will provide materials for cohorts to read and discuss, although the cohorts are welcome to branch out and seek further common readings. The purpose of the cohort discussions is, first, to develop a deeper understanding of particular issues around diversity, equity, and inclusion; and second, to agree upon commitments that members intend to implement in their work/learning at the College.
