Anti-Racism Statements--Department Of Communication
June 19, 2020
Department pledges to act against Black and African-American racism on campus and in the community.
The Department of Communication pledges to deliberate and act against Black and African-American racism on our campus and in our communities. The following two statements reinforce our social justice principles and provide a path forward in taking principled actions to erode such systemic racism. One was drafted by tenure-track faculty members in the Department and the second was drafted by graduate students and signed by a diversity of community members. The graduate students invite people to add their names to their statement.
- Anti-Racism Action Steps--the Tenure, Tenure-Track Faculty
- Graduate Student Statement of Support Advocating for Departmental Action against Anti-Black Racism
We also would like to invite our undergraduate students to sign the graduate student statement and to notify Dr. Catherine Knight Steele (cksteele@umd.edu), Assistant Professor in Communication, if they would like to join the Department's Black Communication Society.
