DESCRIPTION:In an era where ethnic studies faces unprecedented challenges, we are 
 pleased to announce an immersive workshop dedicated to exploring the 
 theoretical underpinnings of this vital field. The workshop, titled 
 “Theoretical Foundations and Social Transformation: A Workshop on Ethnic 
 Studies,” on Thursday, January 18 (5-7pm) aims to delve into the essence 
 of ethnic studies as a transformative force in both thought and 
 action.\n\nKey Features of the Workshop:\n\n* Focus on Theoretical 
 Foundations: This workshop centers on the theoretical frameworks that form 
 the bedrock of ethnic studies, providing participants with a deeper 
 understanding of the field’s core principles.\n\n* Addressing Current 
 Challenges: At a time when ethnic studies is confronting a coordinated and 
 well-funded onslaught, the workshop offers a space to comprehend and 
 articulate the critical stakes involved.\n\n* Exploring Theorizations of 
 Racism: A significant portion of the workshop will be devoted to examining 
 key theorizations of racism, a central aspect of ethnic studies. This 
 examination is aimed at enhancing understanding of the field’s approach 
 to addressing systemic issues.\n\n* Interactive Discussion Groups: 
 Participants will engage in small group discussions, fostering an intimate 
 and collaborative learning environment. These discussions will focus on 
 analyzing examples of ethnic studies theory from grassroots and leftist 
 perspectives, and begin to connect theories. \n\n* Emphasis on Liberatory 
 Practices: The workshop will not only discuss theory but also connect these 
 ideas to the liberatory practices that are intrinsic to ethnic studies. 
 This approach is designed to inspire and empower attendees in their 
 scholarly and activist endeavors.\n\nAccess the interview article here and
