2017-18 Arts and Humanities Dean’s Lecture Series: Courageous Conversations with Theo Wilson

Courageous Conversations: ARHU Resists Hate and Bias

Hate and bias are persistent global problems. What does it look like to engage in courageous conversations that speak to these difficult realities across personal, political, and historical frames? This year’s College of Arts and Humanities (ARHU) Dean’s Lecture Series (DLS) is an opportunity for the campus to join together for provocative conversations about these issues across disciplines.

Join ARHU for the first conversation in this DLS focused on 'The Personal' with slam poet and social justice advocate, Theo Wilson (@Lucifury).

Wilson, an award-winning slam poet and social justice advocate who skyrocketed to social media fame after posting beliefs about hate and bias, will discuss his experience as a black man who went undercover in 'alt-right' social media communities.

Admission is free, but tickets are required. For ticketing and additional information, visit go.umd.edu/wilson.

Follow the conversation across social media platforms using hashtag #ARHUDLS.
