Keynote Presentation
Joy–Not Destination but Practice

Ashon Crawley, writer, artist, and associate professor of religious studies and African American and African studies at the University of Virginia

Note: Dr. Crawley will present remotely via Zoom, but we will gather in Council Chamber as planned in order to maintain our live interaction of seeing and hearing each other during his presentation and Q&A. This event will be accessible via live stream, but we encourage people to come to campus to experience this event in person if possible. If you cannot attend in person, join us on Zoom.

For this year’s art exhibit, we seek work that engages either specifically with this year’s theme of Joy & Justice or more generally with race and ethnicity. The exhibit will include a virtual gallery and some physical installations on campus.

Submissions are due by 5 pm on October 18, 2021.
