About the Critical Race Theory Discussion Series

The U-M Ford School of Public Policy and Michigan Law School are co-sponsoring a Critical Race Theory (CRT) Brown Bag Lunch Series for graduate and professional students during the 2018-19 academic year. The series will use CRT to foster a dialogue on important issues of U.S. public policy ranging from activism to the gentrification of physical spaces to inequalities in health and health care. Each session will focus on an optional reading and large and small group dialogue will be facilitated by a faculty discussant. Students are encouraged, though not required, to attend as many sessions as possible.
