Racial Progress and Backlash in a Diversifying America
Many demographers predict that the United States will become a “majority-minority” nation as early as the 2040s. Jennifer Richeson, a renowned social psychologist at Yale University, has conducted cutting-edge research into the political and psychological dynamics of changing racial and ethnic demographics.
Join Professor Richeson for a wide-ranging conversation with Professor Kenji Yoshino, Director of the Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, on the narrative of racial progress, recent debates over “critical race theory,” and the future of race relations in a rapidly diversifying America.
This event is part of the Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging speaker series and is cosponsored by the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law. The series is sponsored by:
