What We Get Wrong When We Talk About Race

Monday, 17 August 2020 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm

Alana Lentin, Associate Professor in Cultural and Social Analysis at Western Sydney University, talks to Reema Rattan about her new book 'Why Race Still Matters', which argues that we need to pay attention to both when and how race matters but also when, how and why it is said to not matter.
