The Importance of Racial Socialization Messages in the Lives of African-American Youth
Sheretta Butler-Barnes, Associate Professor, Brown School of Social Work, Washington University
In the MLA tradition of approaching a theme from multiple perspectives, our speakers address bridges and divides locally, internationally, and even across species.
Bridges & Divides
The current presidential administration began with a commitment to bridging political divides, even offering physical bridges in the form of an infrastructure bill to help meet that goal. Locally, the team at Health Equity Works has studied inequity created by geographical divide resulting from conscious choices to create a segregated city, and then explored recommendations and activities that dismantle regional divides.
The MLA lecture series is co-sponsored by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
The series takes place every Saturday in February over Zoom.
