The event will feature an audience Q&A and a discussion between Angie Chuang, associate professor of journalism and award-winning reporter, and Ho, professor of ethnic studies and a leading voice on campus and beyond in discussions of racism and racial justice.

Since the spread of COVID-19, anti-Chinese and anti-Asian harassment has been on the rise globally. Ho’s analysis of these incidents has furthered national conversations on the climate of racism through interviews, publications in major news outlets, speaking engagements and more.

“No matter who you are, no matter where you work, no matter what your discipline is in, you can do something about anti-Asian racism,” said Ho, president of the Association for Asian American Studies.

Together, Ho and Chuang will delve into the current wave of anti-Asian racism, particularly its roots in historic discriminatory legislation, policy and stereotypes. They will discuss the political and cultural climate of racism toward Asians and Asian Americans and analyze the impacts of news coverage of high-profile events affecting these communities.

“We’ll never get to where we want to be as a society if we don’t understand how race plays a role in it,” Chuang said. “It’s hard to talk about, and we’re going to give people some vocabulary to talk about it.”

The CMCI One College Colloquium series is one of several ways in which the college seeks to foster and support interdisciplinary engagement and a vibrant intellectual community of artists, humanities scholars, social scientists and designers within the college, across the campus and beyond the university.

Past colloquia have focused on environmental communication and immigration. This year’s colloquia will bring an interdisciplinary focus on the many ways that media, communication and information relate to racial justice.

The College of Media, Communication and Information will feature the new Center for African and African American Studies during its first One College Colloquium event of the semester.

What: CMCI One College Colloquium: Introducing CU's New Center for African and African American Studies (CAAAS)
Who:CAAAS Founding Director Reiland Rabaka in conversation with Media Studies Associate Professor Nabil Echchaibi
When: From 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28
Where: Virtually, on Zoom

The University of Colorado Boulder approved the center, or the CAAAS (pronounced “the cause”), in May in response to student activism, faculty support and years of effort spearheaded by Professor Reiland Rabaka to create a central space for Black culture and community on campus. It is the first center of its kind at the university.

“We took Black Lives Matter very seriously. We transformed this institution that we love so much,” said Rabaka, CAAAS founding director and professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies. “If I criticize ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��, it’s only because I love it. . . .We could be better. They talk about ‘Be Bolder.’ Be better.”

The upcoming colloquium will focus on the vision, aspirations and plans of the new center through an in-depth conversation between Rabaka and Nabil Echchaibi, associate chair for graduate studies in Media Studies.

The event will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28.

CAAAS promises to be a hub of research, teaching, performance, consciousness-raising and community-building dedicated to Black history, Black culture and Black struggle on the Boulder campus and beyond. The multipurpose space, which aims to open in the Macky Auditorium building in 2022, welcomes scholars, students, artists, activists and allies.

In a pre-filmed interview, Echchaibi and Rabaka discuss race in Boulder, the responsibility for improving race-related experiences, the historical evolution of race in the city and current events, including the police killing of George Floyd in Minnesota in 2020.

“He (Rabaka) was saying, if you’re putting a sign on your yard that says ‘Black Lives Matter,’ that’s fine, that’s wonderful. But what are you going to do about it? This sentiment you have has to be translated into action. The center provides that platform,” Echchaibi said. “I think his plea was an invitation to anyone who shares in that sentiment to come into the center and do their part.”

Audience members will be invited to further these discussions during the event’s virtual question and answer session.

The CMCI One College Colloquium series is one of several ways in which the college seeks to foster and support interdisciplinary engagement and a vibrant intellectual community of artists, humanities scholars, social scientists and designers within the college, across the campus and beyond the university.

CMCI will feature the new Center for African and African American Studies during our first One College Colloquium event of the semester on Oct. 28.

Professor Lisa Flores to receive four National Communication Association awards Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 09/30/2021 - 19:45

Lisa A. Flores, a professor of communication in the Department of Communication, is being recognized for her scholarly writings about the experiences of Latinos, Latinas, Latinx, Chicanos, Chicanas, Chicanx and Mexican migrants in the United States.

Flores is also an associate dean of diversity, equity and inclusion in the College of Media, Communication and Information and co-chair of the IDEA Council. She will receive four awards on Nov. 20 during a National Communication Association ceremony in Seattle.

The NCA will award Flores the 2021 Charles H. Woolbert Research Award; the Diamond Anniversary Book Award; the James A. Winans-Herbert A. Wichelns Memorial Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Rhetoric and Public Address; and the inaugural IDEA Scholarship Award.

“I am honored to receive these awards. I hope the awards signal the realization in the NCA and more broadly that scholarship on race and racialization is critical to the ways in which such scholarship builds knowledge and impacts cultural, political and social life,” Flores said.
