DESCRIPTION:Calls for reparations for slavery\, colonialism\, settler colo
 nialism and their ongoing effects are resounding around the world. This ha
 lf-day symposium will explore how reparations demands have enlarged the im
 agination of what is politically possible and ask what role they can play 
 in undoing entrenched forms of racial inequality.\n\nThe first session wil
 l be a wide-ranging conversation about the meanings of reparations advance
 d by scholars\, activists\, and artists at the local\, national\, and tran
 snational levels. Our common text will be Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò’s Rec
 onsidering Reparations (Oxford University Press 2021 - available as an e-b
 ook through SOLO and in the Bodleian)\, and participants are encouraged to
  discuss their own work on the topic.\n\nDuring the second session\, Lawri
 e Balfour will address the promise and pitfalls of reparations politics in
  the contemporary U.S. in a lecture entitled “Reparations Unbound: What 
 Happens a When Radical Idea Enters the Mainstream?”\nSpeakers:\nLawrie B
 alfour (University of Virginia)
