First event of the 2020-2021 "Wednesdays at the Center" (W@TC) virtual/webinar series organized by the John Hope Franklin Center (JHFC) and Duke Center for International and Global Studies (DUCIGS.)
Wednesdays at the Center is a topical weekly series in which scholars, artists, journalists, and others speak informally about their work in conversation with Duke students, staff, faculty, and community members. The series, which began in March 2006, typically welcomes around 50 audience members every week throughout the academic semesters over the lunch hour. All events in the series are free and open to the public. A light lunch is served at each event.
Due to COVID restrictions, the 2020-2021 edition of W@TC will start virtually.
The Wednesdays at the Center, JHFC, and DUCIGS have worked in the past to address issues of racism, inequality, and marginalization both globally and locally.
This year we will intensify our focus on anti-racism under the rubric:
JHF | Global Anti-Racism (histories of action).
