This two-day conference will be organized around a series of conversations (rather than formal paper presentations), and will also feature an opening “state of the field” roundtable and a final dialogue focused on the role of public-facing scholarship. Each conversation is organized around a specific discipline or approach within the broader interdisciplinary mode of intellectual inquiry named as Black Studies and will be facilitated by a moderator, who will help to explore the place of religion in the context of black studies.

The Senior Research Symposium is a crucial component of the Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race (CSER) academic experience, which seeks to generate innovative thinking about race, ethnicity, indignity and other categories of difference in order to better understand their role and impact in modern societies. Publicized campus-wide, the symposium showcases thesis projects by seniors in the major.

The symposium offers CSER students an opportunity to share and receive feedback on their original research. This event enables students to hone their oral presentation skills to supplement the analytical projects they have prepared on a subject of their choice.
