2022 MLK Keynote Address: Eddie Glaude Jr. Pre-Event Presentation

One of the nation’s most prominent scholars, Eddie Glaude, Jr. is an author, political commentator, public intellectual and passionate educator who examines the complex dynamics of the American experience. His writings, including his most recent—the New York Times bestseller Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for our Own—take a wide look at Black communities, the difficulties of race in the United States and the challenges we face as a democracy. In his writing and speaking, Glaude is an American critic in the tradition of James Baldwin and Ralph Waldo Emerson, confronting history and bringing our nation’s complexities, vulnerabilities and hope into full view. Hope that is, in one of his favorite quotes from W.E.B. Du Bois, not hopeless, but a bit unhopeful. Glaude is the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor and Chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton. He frequently appears in the media, including as a columnist for TIME magazine, and hosts Princeton’s AAS Podcast, a conversation around the field of African American Studies and the Black experience in the 21st century. A highly accomplished and respected scholar of religion, Glaude is a former president of the American Academy of Religion. Combining a scholar’s knowledge of history, a political commentator’s take on the latest events and an activist’s passion for social justice, Glaude challenges all of us to examine our collective American conscience, not to posit the greatness of America, but to establish the ground upon which to imagine the country anew

Center for Social Equity + Inclusion Action Plan

Art and design have far-reaching capacities for generating shared language and connecting people and communities. The creative forms we study at RISD are powerful means for conveying ideas and shaping experiences across habituated boundaries. Today we see those forms resonate more than ever before in the multilingual, culturally heterogeneous, digitally interconnected spaces around the globe. In fact, the democratization of communications media has made it possible for long marginalized voices to join and substantively transform our public discourses. The resulting body of critical knowledge has focused attention on interlocking systems of privilege and disenfranchisement entrenched throughout our social institutions, including those of higher education. In response, numerous institutions have worked to counteract the systemic forces of bias and inequality, but these efforts have produced, more often than not, only limited effects, especially when seen in the context of more rapid cultural changes in society at large. This differential between intent and outcomes has added a new level of urgency to the conversation on issues of diversity, identity, inclusion, access, agency, and equity in the halls of American higher education. The following Center for Social Equity and Inclusion (SEI) Action Plan provides the RISD community with an historic opportunity to carefully and systematically address those issues, and realize a forward-looking example for other institutions to follow.https://digitalcommons.risd.edu/president_sei_actionplan/1000/thumbnail.jp
