Although 2010 Census data show Oregon’s population becoming more racially diverse, the state remains one of the whitest in the nation. What does the racial integration of place require of us, and how might we prepare to create and embrace this opportunity?
This is the focus of “White Out? The Future of Racial Diversity in Oregon,” a free conversation with Willamette University professor Emily Drew on Sunday, March 29 at 2 p.m. at Hood River County Library. This program is hosted by Hood River County Library and sponsored by Oregon Humanities and the Friends of the Hood River Library.
Drew is an associate professor of sociology at Willamette University, where she teaches courses on racism, race and ethnicity, urban sociology, mass media, and social change.
Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state’s future.
The conversation is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Hood River County Library District at 541-386-2535, info@ hoodriverlibrary.org or visit their website at hoodriverlibrary.org.
Oregon Humanities connects Oregonians to ideas to change lives and transform communities. More information about Oregon Humanities’ programs and publications, which include the Conversation Project, Think & Drink and Humanity in Perspective can be found at oregonhumanities.org.
