Racial Justice, Antiracism, and the Boston College Forum for Racial Justice in America
February 17 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
$100
Online via Zoom • 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Presenter: Vincent Rougeau
Boston College has decided to address the reality of structural racism through a new project called the Forum on Racial Justice in America. As the inaugural director and someone who has spent many years thinking in scholarly terms about the relationship between American law and Catholic social teaching, Dean Rougeau sees the Forum’s work as being rooted in a profound understanding that personal conversion alone is insufficient to end racism in this country. As a Jesuit Catholic university, Boston College has access to rich theological and intellectual understandings of justice. Rougeau’s hope is that the Forum will draw heavily upon that knowledge. The Forum will move forward in its work to dismantle racist structures through three stages modeled on the process of “observe, judge, act,” an important part of Jesuit pedagogy.
