Professor Anita Chikkatur will take part in the event, #BlackLivesMatter, Conversations for Change. “Our goal is to stimulate conversations. Conversations that are attentive to recent events as symptoms of large, systemic, problems and that are willing and able to turn inward to our own communities. The panelists will address some facet of #BlackLivesMatter to raise our consciousnesses, challenge our understanding, and spur continuing dialogues.”
