Racism and Revolution Seminar

The killing of George Floyd has caused an eruption in conversations about race, racism, and also revolution. But there are fundamental disagreements on what to make of these issues, and even how to define them. What is racism? When is revolution necessary? Of what does revolution consist, and how can it be successful? This seminar will explore ideas related to these questions. It may draw on the previous Foundations of Conservatism Seminar. However, it will focus primarily on Ibram X. Kendi’s How to be an Antiracist and Hannah Arendt’s On Revolution. We will explore these texts both analytically and critically, largely through seminar discussions.
