DESCRIPTION:Speaker Information: Dr. Stephen John Quaye\, Miami UniversityS
 ince 2014\, visible\, public student activism has been on the rise. #Black
 LivesMatter activists\, specifically\, have used protesting\, teach-ins\, 
 and meetings with campus administrators to call attention to racism on cam
 puses and in the larger society. Often\, this activism is spurred by the c
 ontinued senseless killing of Black people by police officers and continue
 d racism on their campuses. With social media\, it is often easier for the
 se killings to gain attention with images of these slain Black bodies bein
 g tweeted and retweeted constantly.\nOften missing\, however\, from the co
 nversation about activism is how scholars engage in activism. What is the 
 role of scholars in engaging in activism? And how do scholars practice sel
 f-care with the onslaught of media attention to Black people being killed?
  In this talk\, I make a case for scholar activism\, that is\, activism by
  faculty\, researchers\, or scholars\, and how scholars blend their activi
 st identities with their scholarship. I explore the possibilities and chal
 lenges of scholar activism and strategies for practicing self-care in the 
 midst of this activism.Contact: Devean Owensdrowens2@illinois.eduSponsor:
