Black Lives Matter at Ramapo
What do we mean when we use the phrase "Black Lives Matter"? We will unpack that and other issues related to the Black experience in this colloquium: a series of lively, scholarly, and organic discussions that will allow faculty, staff, and students to share in important conversations around race, justice, representation, and the current state of race relations on our campus.
In the context of the national protests this summer and the national elections this fall, our goal is to stimulate and inform conversation in the Liberal Arts tradition. The structure will be a short series of ´¼üve presentations by Ramapo professors based on their work, that links scholarship to activism and current events. The events will feature presentations by faculty across diverse ´¼üelds of study who work with issues of race, representation, and social justice in their research, followed by group discussion of strategies to teach and learn about the Black experience and to advocate for structural change.
Presenters and Topics:
October 21 | Karl Johnson (HGS), Slavery by Another Name, Film and Discussion

The Census count is over
The October 31st deadline to complete the census that was recently restored in a ruling by US District Judge Lucy Koh has been overturned by the United States Supreme Court. Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor offered the lone dissent. The new deadline to complete the census was Thursday, October 15th. We hope you, your friends, and family all completed the census. A complete count is essential for apportioning our congressional and legislative districts. A complete count is also critical for New Jersey and all its citizens and residents in that the population helps determine the amount of federal dollars NJ will receive for infrastructure, health care, schools, etc. Read more here about the distribution of billions of dollars based on the census count.
