A Killing Cure: Education, Segregation and the Meaning of Health When Black Communities Disappear

7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m.

Sponsored by the Department of Education

As part of the Ilene Katz Lowenthal and Edward Lowenthal Symposium Series, the Department of Education welcomes featured speaker Noliwe Rooks, who is the W.E.B Du Bois Professor at Cornell University. After her presentation, Rooks will be joined by Amber Jones (Harris-Stowe State University), Jerome Morris (the E. Desmond Lee Endowed Professor of Urban Education at the University of Missouri – St. Louis), and Michelle Purdy (Washington University in St. Louis) for a conversation that connects the themes from her work to our local context in the St. Louis region.
