Racial Disparities in VT: From Real Data to Radical Empathy

Meeting Date:  March 10, 2021
Meeting Time:  1-2:30 pm
Speaker: Stephanie Seguino, Professor of Economics, University of Vermont and Fellow, Gund Institute for the Environment
Location: Online
Individual lecture: $10

All seven lectures*: $30

This presentation will explore the evidence of racial inequality in Vermont policing. Vermont police are not different than the rest of Vermonters. Instead, they reflect the racial biases we all carry. And that observation leads to the question posed by philosopher Anthony Kwame Appiah, “What do we owe strangers by virtue of our shared humanity?” Seguino’s talk will address that question, sharing her photographic work that portrays the deep humanity of black men, encouraging viewers to examine and rehabilitate their own negative racial stereotypes.
