* We define anti-racist action as
raising awareness and dismantling
normalized racist structures,
policies, and attitudes. Our goal at
the Department of Philosophy is to
proactively address various forms of
racism, colonialism, xenophobia, and
exclusion in our collective contexts
and to promote cultural change.
We look forward to enthusiastic
engagement and fruitful discussions,
Your colleagues from the
The Anti-Racism Working Group
