In Conversation … at the Center for “Race” is a featured program of roundtable discussions around everyday issues that involve race and social justice, and that directly impact the Hofstra community. The aim is to create a space for conversation – and to bridge the gap – between staff, students, faculty, and administrators of all ranks, giving an equal voice to everyone. In Conversation … at the Center for “Race” will take place twice per semester, during common hour, on the second Wednesday of the month.
