Call and Response: African Diasporic Solidarities at LMU and Beyond
LMU’s Black communities include students, faculty, and staff with roots in the United States, Ethiopia, Belize, Nigeria, South Africa, and many more places around the world where people of African descent have forged communities, technologies, and institutions in the face of continuing oppression. With Call and Response, faculty and alumni will draw on their research, family backgrounds, professional experience, and institutional memories to discuss histories of exchange, collaboration, miseducation and misunderstanding, as well as blueprints for solidarity on campus and beyond. Topics of emphasis include immigration/migration, music and the arts, and education.
About the Bellarmine Forum
The Bellarmine Forum is LMU's annual celebration of the life of the mind, offered by the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts. The 2023-24 Bellarmine Forum invites students, faculty, and the entire LMU community to think about how we understand “internationalization” and how to break it down into what that actually means to us.
