One thing that we've repeatedly discussed over the last few weeks is how to mobilise what we've learned (in the public sphere, not least) and how to continue this research. We've had a couple of suggestions (below). If you have any other thoughts, please add them to the comments chain.
- We should continue the reading group (Zara has suggested that we turn to look at the work of Charles Mills).
- One issue that came up during the conversation with Barbara Applebaum was how academic language presents an obstacle to public engagement. We've been discussing the possibility of creating short non-academic summaries (of chapters from the book, or related papers) and uploading them to a hosting hub. This could be a helpful resource to which different reading groups can contribute.
This is the blog for the Critical Race Theory Reading Group, based in London, streamed world-wide.
