Presented in partnership with Cuesta College Equity and Student Success Committee & Cuesta Faculty Professional Development Committee, Cuesta Black Student Union

Learn from Dr. Ruha Benjamin, professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, how and why racism persists as a form of vision and division. Dr. Benjamin will share the challenges faced by community colleges related to technology, data and equity, including teaching and learning online, and how this impacts the student experience. She will offer a toolkit to better understand how racism distorts our relationships, communities, and institutions, and what we as individuals and as a campus can do about it. Students will have the opportunity to engage in a discussion on opportunities for careers in STEM.

Dr. Ruha Benjamin is a professor of African American Studies at Princeton University and author of People's Science: Bodies and Rights on the Stem Cell Frontier (Stanford University Press) and Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code (Polity 2019). She has studied the social dimensions of science, technology, and medicine for over fifteen years and speaks widely on issues of innovation, equity, health, and justice in the U.S. and globally. She is currently working on her next book, Viral Justice: How We Grow the World We Want, born out of the twin plagues of COVID-19 and police violence. Dr. Benjamin is the founding director of the IDA B. WELLS Just Data Lab, and a faculty associate in the Center for Information Technology Policy, Program on History of Science, Center for Health and Wellbeing, and Program on Gender and Sexuality Studies.
