Spring ’22 Just Futures Online Roundtables

The Williams College Spring ’22  roundtable series “Entwined: Indigenous, Afro-Indigenous, African American” focuses on four themes central to communities: Spirituality, Security, Sovereignties, and Freedom. Academics, artists, and activists will discuss communal agency and historical/contemporary justice. This roundtable series is co-sponsored by the Williams Just Futures committee, Oakley Center, Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Pathways for Inclusive Excellence. The Just Futures Mellon grant partners Williams College with the Mystic Seaport Museum, Williams-Mystic, and Brown University.
