A social justice coffee hour, “Talking to Kids about Racism,” for students, faculty, staff and community members will be held from 2:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 23, in room 209/211 of Trabant University Center at the University of Delaware.

Anyone interested in attending may come for part or all of the program, which will include short talks by three speakers, small group question and answer sessions with each speaker, small group discussions and a call to action. Coffee and light refreshments will be served.

Speakers will be Angel Dunbar, a University of Maryland scientist whose research focuses on understanding the unique challenges that children of color encounter; Roger Harrison, a pediatric clinical psychologist at Nemours Children’s Health System with expertise in talking to children about race; and parent Sean Watson.

The coffee hour is part of a recurring series of events on campus, each addressing a different topic.
