JOIN US FOR THE INAUGURAL LECTURE BY ROBYN MAYNARD!
The annual Professor Chin Banerjee Memorial Lecture in Anti-Racism, cohosted by SFU's Institute for the Humanities, Dr. Hari Sharma Foundation, West Coast Coalition Against Racism (WCCAR), and South Asian Network for Secularism and Democracy (SANSAD), is to commemorate the life, work, and political activism of Professor Chin Banerjee, who passed away on July 29, 2020. Chin leaves behind a legacy of activism in the service of the humankind. He inspired many people to fight for a better world of secular democracy and human rights, and his example and inspiration lives on.
This year's inaugural lecture will be given by Robyn Maynard, influential author of Policing Black Lives. Robyn will be talking about her new book (coauthored by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson), Rehearsals for Living, a captivating book that is part debate, part dialogue, part lively and detailed familial between two razor-sharp writers convening on what it means to get free as the world spins into some new orbit.
