EVENTS
February 20 | 12-2:00pm | Social Science Matrix | Elijah Anderson: “Black Success, White Backlash, and the “N-Word Moment.” Elijah Anderson is the Sterling Professor of Sociology and African American Studies at Yale University. Since the end of the Civil Rights Movement, large numbers of Black people have made their way into settings previously occupied only by whites. While many whites supported these changes, many others felt that their own rights were being abrogated by Black inclusion. Moreover, Black prosperity has provoked white resentment that can make life exhausting for people of color—and it has led to the undoing of policies that have nurtured Black advancement. Co-sponsored by the Department of African American Studies, Center for Ethnographic Research, Othering and Belonging Institute, Jurisprudence and Social Policy Graduate Program, and the Center for the Study of Law and Society.
