We Got Next, Conversation with Endalyn Taylor and Patrick Earl Hammie

“We Got Next” is a five part, webinar series designed to highlight the work and research of faculty of color relevant to race and equality. This effort is led by Endalyn Taylor, professor in the Department of Dance and Dean’s Fellow. Each week, Taylor will be joined by faculty members and special guests to share their research and a live discussion of the work’s creation, impact, relationship to the perpetual pandemic of racism, and the systematic issues brought to the forefront by George Floyd’s murder and other recent events.
