SUMMARY:Who Are You?: Racial Classification and the Census
DESCRIPTION:Who Are You?: Racial Classification and the Census\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, February 20\, 2019 – 12:30pm to 1:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFreight & Salvage Coffeehouse\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow are individuals and groups racially classified\, what are the meanings attached to different racial categories\, and what impact do these categories have on a range of policies and practices? Taking the U.S. Census as a site of racial classification\, we’ll examine shifting state definitions of race and how individuals and groups assert\, embrace\, reject\, and negotiate different racial categories and identities. \nMichael Omi is a professor of Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley and the co-author (along with Howard Winant) of Racial Formation in the United States (3rd edition\, 2015)\, a groundbreaking work that transformed how we understand the social and historical forces that give race its changing meaning over time and place. \n$10 for the general public. Free for OLLI members and UC Berkeley students\, faculty\, and staff.
