Program
Since its inception , the Antiracism Collective has produced a series of public resources that highlight important research on racism and antiracist theory and practice . It has hosted seminars , informal lunchtime and roundtable discussions on race-related issues with scholars and scholar-activists .
These have included : the implications of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism on antiracism , activism , academic work , and campus life ; the increase in attacks on critical race theory and contemporary culture wars ; and how abolishing the violent structures of the colonial carceral state contributes to antiracism scholarship .
It has also coordinated a series of dialogues on First Nations Children ’ s Books . In 2022 , the ‘ book club ’ discussed books by Adam Goodes & Ellie Laing , Amy McQuire , Archie Roach , Briggs , and Thomas Mayor . It is currently developing a series of workshops and a discussion guide for parents .
The Collective is also identifying and developing a suite of courses for an undergraduate major in Race and Culture Studies for 2024 and advocating for greater recognition / representation of students from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds in university policies and services to better support these ( aspiring ) students .
