“Racial Justice is a Journey. We believe that racial justice is an active journey; therefore, we commit to continuously working on ourselves and with our communities to act both individually and collectively to achieve the systemic fair treatment of all people.” - GCSW’s Racial Justice Principles
RACIAL JUSTICE IS A JOURNEY: WALK N' LISTEN 2024
The GCSW will spend the 2022-2023 academic year exploring the seven Racial Justice Principles formally adopted by the College in May 2022. Inspired by the principle “Racial Justice is a Journey,” the HEAR Lab team has curated four podcast episodes as a way to start conversations around anti-racist research. We invite you to walk and listen each week to join us on this journey.
