We are excited to announce our first in-person event of the fall semester! Please join us Wednesday, September 8th at 7:00 p.m. in the Concert Hall at the Jack H. Miller Center for “Race, Racism, and Antiracism: A Dialogue on How Christians Should Think About Race.” The panelists include Dr. Matt Jantzen, director of the Emmaus Scholars Program and visiting assistant professor of ministry studies, and our very own Dr. Kevin Kambo, assistant professor of philosophy. The moderator will be Matthew A. Scogin, president of Hope College.

Free and open to the public. In accordance with Hope College's Covid precautions, face masks are required indoors on campus for those vaccinated and unvaccinated. The event can also be watched via livestream at hope.edu/live or on the Hope College YouTube Channel (youtube.com/hopecollege).

What is race? What counts as racism? How widespread is racism in America? At Hope College? In our hearts? And how should Christians think about these questions? Join President Scogin as he moderates a conversation between two Hope College professors, Dr. Matthew Jantzen and Dr. Kevin Kambo, on one of our most contentious issues.

This event is sponsored by Hope College’s Office of the President. Co-sponsors include the Saint Benedict Institute, Hope College’s departments of American Ethnic Studies, English, Global Studies, History, Sociology and Social Work, Religion, Philosophy, and World Languages and Cultures, Campus Ministries, the Center for Ministry Studies, the Fried Center for Global Engagement, the Dean of Arts & Humanities, the Dean of Social Sciences, the Office of the Provost, as well as the student organizations Black Student Union, Hope Catholics, Pan-African Student Association, and the Pre-Law Society.
