* 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
