We dive into the history of the term “woke”-- what it originally meant and how the term may now obscure more than it illuminates. This series explores the history of the term “woke,” its possibilities and foreclosures, and the term’s connection to core approaches to critical inquiry within an ethical framework.
Hosted by Cameron Brickhouse, Dean of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement, and Zaheer Ali, Executive Director of the Hutchins Center for Civics, formerly the Hutchins Institute for Social Justice.
