International Affairs Family Conference 2022
July 24, 2022 to July 31, 2022
The pandemic, climate change, and political unrest have laid bare the effects of structural racism around the world. We’ll look at racism globally with a focus on the U.S., our history of slavery carried into policy inequities. We’ll discover paths forward through environmental, healthcare, and economic justice and consider how we can make a difference, individually and collectively, including within our Star Island community.
