USC Race and Equity Center’s Equity Book Talk Series invites nationally renowned scholars, experts, and authors to discuss their books with host and moderator, Dr. John Pascarella. For more than a decade, the Center has aimed to dismantle racism, white supremacy, and anti-blackness in all their forms. For the last four years, educators have faced greater public scrutiny, book bans, and pervasive censorship of their curriculum choices and classroom discussions than the previous four decades.

This series is offered to educators and individuals across the country seeking to advance racial equity in their schools, colleges, companies, and organizations, despite widespread censorship efforts.
