Annual Antiracist Development Institute Convening 2024
October 16 - October 18, 2024
Penn State Dickinson Law
Carlisle, PA
This convening will be a three-day collaborative, hands-on, and love-centered event bringing colleagues from across the country, from inside and outside of the legal profession together to learn, teach, implement, and celebrate. It will be a time of networking, sharing, and growing together to create an antiracist legal academy, legal profession, and country. We look forward to sharing time and space with you!
This year’s keynote address will be given by Dr. Eddie Glaude Jr., New York Times Bestselling Author and James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor at Princeton University. Read more about Dr. Glaude here.
Read about last year’s inaugural convening and the keynote address from Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Esq. Endowed Chair in Civil Rights at Howard University School of Law, Sherrilyn Ifill here.
Registration for this event has now closed.
We are organizing this Convening into three cohorts:
Admissions and Financial Aid — Programming will be geared towards higher education admissions and financial aid professionals who are looking toward establishing antiracist policies and practices within their organizations.
Teaching and Learning — Programming will speak directly to those engaged in the teaching profession. The information shared will help educators learn more about establishing antiracism as a classroom culture. Administrators may also find that information shared in this cohort may be utilized in professional development offerings.
Leadership and Community — Participants from outside the legal academy and/or higher education may find this cohort most appealing. Programming will be geared toward leaders at every level as well as community members looking to implement antiracist principles into their organizations.
