Critically Reflexive Racialization: Building Interracial Solidarity through Research Practices

Monday, February 24, 2025

3:00-4:00 PM

AGSL (UWM Libraries, 3rd floor)
UW-Milwaukee

Dr. Anjana Mudambi
Assistant Professor of Communication, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

In this talk, I’ll share my framework of critically reflexive racialization (CRR) as a way for communities of color to explore and renegotiate our racialized identities in relation to other marginalized groups to build interracial solidarity with each other. I’ll recount my own experiences as a scholar of South Asian origin engaging in research across South Asian American, Latinx, and Black communities and discuss how CRR can help us move out of our racial/ethnic silos as scholars and build interracial solidarity through our research practices.

Join us to learn about the many topics you can study through the interdisciplinary LACUSL major at UWM.
