VIRTUAL LAUNCH: University of Johannesburg (UJ) Centre for the Study of Race, Gender & Class (RGC)
September 24, 2020 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The University of Johannesburg, Faculty of Humanities, in collaboration with the College of Business and Economics and the Faculty of Art Design and Architecture, invites you to the launch of the Centre for the Study of Race, Gender & Class (RGC).
The Centre, based at UJ, aims to create an important intellectual space for vibrant debate and critical interdisciplinary scholarship that is guided by an emancipatory agenda. Race and ethnic discriminations, gender oppressive practices, and class inequities persist despite decades of multi-culturalism and efforts to celebrate and institutionalise diversity and human rights. The RGC will be a globally competitive university-based Centre, framed by African realities, struggles, and complexities, and firmly orientated towards transformation, decolonisation and inclusivity.
