Notre Dame International invites all members of the Notre Dame community and friends of the University to the second event in a series of virtual events dedicated to internationalizing conversations on issues of vital importance. Race and Building Communities of Belonging: Perspectives from the U.S., the U.K., & Brazil will be held July 16, 2020, from 9:00am – 10:30am (EDT) via Zoom. Pre-registration for the session is requested and the Zoom link will be made available once registration is received.

The July 16 roundtable will focus on ‘race and social inclusion’ and will feature perspectives from three countries with long-standing and significant race issues: the U.S., the U.K., and Brazil. Among the questions to be addressed: What are the challenges to building communities of belonging in these three national settings? In particular, what are the special obstacles that Black citizens face? In what ways are these obstacles similar and different in each of the three countries? What can we learn from efforts to promote racial equity and justice in each? What are the opportunities at this moment in history and how can we ensure that efforts to promote greater equity, justice, and social inclusion are sustained? How might faith communities contribute? What role might universities play, particularly a Catholic university like Notre Dame?
