November 17, 2023 – The Gibson-Banks Center is cohosting conference on the recently published book, Race and National Security (Oxford University Press, 2023), edited by Professor Matiangai Sirleaf, Nathan Patz Professor of Law, University of Maryland Carey School of Law. The conference will feature a dynamic group of guest scholars. The discussion will explore the role of race and racism and how they function in subtle and unsubtle ways – to inform everything from who is the perceived threat, to who is being protected, to whose security is at risk, as well as whose security is imperiled. The urgency of this moment makes it even more vital to more fully exca­vate the question of how race and racism relate to national security domesti­cally, transnationally, and internationally.   Please register for this conference here by November 14^th.  Registration is free.
