Racial Justice, Equity and Power (RJEP) Conference

This inaugural conference seeks to bring together researchers, scholars, teachers, practitioners and activists from diverse fields to discuss critical issues around racial justice, equity and power, acknowledging the contested nature of concepts such as race, racialisation, and (de) racialisation.

The conference also aims to highlight the tensions and practices that continue to underscore racial and epistemic injustices across the world today, with a view to engender critical dialogue on ways of thinking about anti-racist theories and practices. Accordingly, the overarching theme for the conference this year is - Rethinking Racialisation, Theory and Anti-racist Practices.

We welcome papers from a wide range of contexts and disciplines that theoretically and empirically examine ways to de-racialise thinking, knowledges/epistemes and practices, in the 21st century. If you would like to find out more or submit a paper, you can do so via our weblink.
