A NEW DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION SEMINAR

 

The Life, the Work, and the Legacy of John Lewis

 

This seminar will be structured around the careful reading and discussion of the recent biography, John Lewis: A Life, by David Greenberg.  John Lewis’ life provides a vivid window into the struggle for racial justice over the past 60+ years.  This seminar is one of a series of seminars that address diversity, equity, and inclusion issues.  This series is a part of our Center’s & Institute’s response to the Final Report of the Holmes Commission on Racism in American Psychoanalysis.  The Report asserts that white racism pervades all facets of American society, including our psychoanalytic communities and our training institutes.  This seminar will seek explicate the historical and societal forces that contribute to individual and institutional racism in our society, including our psychoanalytic communities and training institutes.  We will also seek to explicate the historical, societal, and psychological forces that contribute to the denial of the presence of individual and institutional racism.
