Searching for the Uncommon Common Ground: New Dimensions of Race in America

The Michi and Walter Weglyn Endowed Chair of Multicultural Studies presents a panel, "Searching for the Uncommon Common Ground: New Dimensions of Race in America" on Monday, November 14, from 2-4 p. m. at the Cal State University Pomona Bronco Student Center, Ursa Minor. The panel based on a book that the panel participants have co-authored will explore various themes related to the pursuit of racial equality and justice including: the black-white paradigm versus multiculturalism; diversity versus racial justice; universal versus particular strategies; national versus local responsibility; and structural factors versus individual initiative.

The panel, with a purpose of developing a much-needed conversation on framing new policies for addressing racial inequity, includes:

Angela Glover Blackwell - is the founder and chief executive officer of PolicyLink, a national nonprofit research, communications, capacity-building, and advocacy organization. PolicyLink is committed to a mission of advancing a new generation of policies to achieve economic and social equity, based on the wisdom, voice, and experience of local leaders who are shaping successful solutions to national problems. She is a frequent guest in the media and her appearances include ABC's Nightline and National public Radio. She has been published in the opinion pages of The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle.

Stewart Kwoh - is the President and Executive Director of the Asian Pacific American Legal Center of Southern California. Under Kwoh's leadership, the APALC has become the largest and most diverse legal assistance and civil rights organization targeting Asian Pacific Americans in the United States. As a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, he is the first Asian American attorney to receive this prestigious award, often referred to as a "genius grant." In a front page article of the L. A. Times, he has been described as one of the nation's premier advocates for Asian Americans and as a bridge builder bringing people together from diverse racial backgrounds.

Dr. Manuel Pastor - is a Professor of Latin American and Latino Studies and Co-Director of the Center for Justice, Tolerance, and Community at the University of California, Santa Cruz. His research on Latin American issues has been published in numerous journals such as International Organization and Journal of Latin American Studies. His research on U. S. Urban issues has been published in such journals as Economic Development Quarterly, Urban Affairs Review, and Urban Geography. He co-authored Regions That Work: How Cities and Suburbs Can Grow Together and co-edited a collection of essays entitled Up Against the Sprawl: Public Policy and the Making of Southern California.
