    Guest Speaker Dr. Amrita Chakrabarti Myers

    Dr. Chakrabarti Myers will speak on campus about the Black female experience in the US on Friday, October 25th at 7 p.m. in Stonecipher 113. There will be a book signing and reception following in Stonecipher 260.

    She is a researcher, writer, educator, and community-based organizer. No matter what hat she’s wearing, though, she’s interested in truth, justice, equity, and restoration. Whether it’s in the classroom, the community, between two covers, with city governments, or at corporate tables, her vision is to help dismantle the unjust systems holding us all back.
