The keynote speaker at the Association for Integrative Studies
Conference will discuss how racism remains in our discourse, even by
people who are appalled by racism.
Victor Villanueva leads the English department at Auburn
University. His presentation, “Rhetorics of Racism in a Post-Racist
Era,” is set for Thursday, October 13, beginning at 7 p.m. in the
Eberhard Center. The event is free and open to the Grand Valley community.
His speech will discuss how racism remains in societal
discourse, sometimes consciously, often not. He will suggest ways to
think about the maintenance of rhetorics that carry racism. Villanueva
is the editor of several popular English textbooks and the author of
“Bootstraps: From an American Academic of Color.”
The AIS conference at the Amway Grand Plaza runs October 14-16.
It is sponsored by the Liberal Studies department and Brooks College
of Interdisciplinary Studies. For more information, visit www.gvsu.edu/aisconference.
