Racial "Reckoning" (via Zoom)
Harney, John O.
New England Journal of Higher Education, Mar 2021
Even in this time when people presume to be having a "racial reckoning," signs of enduring racial inequity tend to pop up everywhere. In this article, John O. Harney, executive editor of the "New England Journal of Higher Education" describes the webinars he has been attending via Zoom that have been addressing how Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) the inequities have been facing from health care to education. The webinars come as the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) renewed its focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. The terms "justice" and "belonging" are sometimes also added to the collection of values that used to be disparaged as politically correct. Moreover, "diversity" is not enough on its own because, as one New England college president recently told his colleagues, people can feel welcomed but also disadvantaged. NEBHE has also looked at the concept of "reparative" justice as a way to recognize that fighting racial oppression should not be responsive to specific past wrongs, but rather, driven by the understanding that the past, present and future exist together.
