Universities and colleges are among the oldest institutions in US-American society. They thus partake in the structural and systemic racism that is still a defining element of that society. Recently, there have been efforts to address the historical dimension of this issue in higher education, as well as a strive towards devising strategies of reform and best practice for the present. We will take a look at both these aspects and their connections. This class is part of a BAA Verbundsseminar (together with the Universities of Erlangen and Passau). It will conclude in a joint student conference at Munich Amerikahaus (July 23/24, 2021), with the opportunity for participants to present their work.
