  • Black Lives: Research & Action

Black Lives: Research & Action

Speakers and performers in the Black Lives: Research and Action Engagement series will share with the Brooklyn College community research, activism, or creative work that is related to Black lives and that is transforming our Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York City, state, or national communities.

The Wolfe institute encourages every department, program, and institute at Brooklyn College to pledge to bring at least one Black speaker to campus as part of this engagement. The Wolfe Institute will help to financially support events in the series, in addition to our regular support of a wide range of programs promoting interdisciplinary conversations grounded in the humanities and social sciences.
