The Invisible Weight of Whiteness: The Racial Grammar of Everyday Life in Contemporary America

Dr. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Professor of Sociology from Duke University, is an expert on racial grammar in everyday life. Racial grammar is as important as all the visible practices and mechanisms of white supremacy. Join us for a discussion of why we must understand how it works in order to fight its poisonous effects. 

The discussion will be at 11:30 am in 002 Sabin Hall. The event is Sponsored by College of Social & Behavioral Sciences; Department of Political Science; Center for Multicultural Education; Faculty Senate Speaker Series Fund; Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminology; Sociology and Criminology Student Clubs (Northern Iowa Student Government); Campus Coalition Builders; Liberal Arts Core; Department of History; Global Studies Major.
