We Got Next

We Got Next is a five-part webinar series launched by the College of Fine and Applied Arts designed to highight the work and research of faculty of color relevant to race and equality. This effort is led by Endalyn Taylor, professor in the Department of Dance and Dean's Fellow for the college. Each week, Taylor will be joined by faculty members and special guests who will share their research and have a live discussion of the work's creation, impact, relationship to the perpetual pandemic of racism, and the systematic issues brought to the forefront by George Floyd's murder and other recent events.
