As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

Among many publications and articles he co-authored with Alex Stepick Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith: Haitian Religion in Miami, York University Press, 2013, and Our Lady of Class Struggle: The Cult of the Virgin Mary in Haiti. Trenton, NJ and Asmara, Eritrea: Africa World Press, 1999.\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“In Times of Solidarity and Tragedy: Haitians Across the Americas”</strong></p>\n\n<strong>Jeanette Charles </strong>is presently in the Doctoral Program in Strategic Development, with Mention in Multipolarity and the Integration of Our America in Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela (November 2013-present), Caracas, Venezuela.

Recent manifestations of Haitian migration are a contemporary exodus part of the historical trajectory of the larger African diaspora.  The conditions facing Haitians in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela are not without their contradictions and challenges ranging from laws rendering thousands of Haitians stateless to human trafficking of Haitian laborers. This presentation explores the ways Latin American nations look to continue their solidarity and cooperation with Haiti.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores</strong> is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino &amp; Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and a Research Scholar at Penn Institute of Urban Research, Philadelphia. Her research focuses on understanding how the urban built environment mediates community life and social inequality.

Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong></p>\n\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\n\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\n\n&nbsp;\n\nRosemary A.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

Bennett </strong>is professor in the Ph.D Program in History, the Graduate Center, at the City University of New York (CUNY) since 2009. He received a masters and Ph.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

Trenton, NJ and Asmara, Eritrea: Africa World Press, 1999.\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“In Times of Solidarity and Tragedy: Haitians Across the Americas”</strong></p>\r\n<strong>Jeanette Charles </strong>is presently in the Doctoral Program in Strategic Development, with Mention in Multipolarity and the Integration of Our America in Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela (November 2013-present), Caracas, Venezuela.

Recent manifestations of Haitian migration are a contemporary exodus part of the historical trajectory of the larger African diaspora.  The conditions facing Haitians in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela are not without their contradictions and challenges ranging from laws rendering thousands of Haitians stateless to human trafficking of Haitian laborers. This presentation explores the ways Latin American nations look to continue their solidarity and cooperation with Haiti.</p>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores</strong> is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino &amp; Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and a Research Scholar at Penn Institute of Urban Research, Philadelphia. Her research focuses on understanding how the urban built environment mediates community life and social inequality.

She has lectured extensively throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“Are We Between or Within Black and White? Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong></p>\r\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRosemary A.

Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality.

Bennett </strong>is professor in the Ph.D Program in History, the Graduate Center, at the City University of New York (CUNY) since 2009. He received a masters and Ph.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

In addition to Temple, he has taught at the Florida International University, at State University of Haiti in Port-au-Prince, and at the National University of Zaire. Among many publications and articles he co-authored with Alex Stepick Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith: Haitian Religion in Miami, York University Press, 2013, and Our Lady of Class Struggle: The Cult of the Virgin Mary in Haiti. Trenton, NJ and Asmara, Eritrea: Africa World Press, 1999.\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“In Times of Solidarity and Tragedy: Haitians Across the Americas”</strong></p>\n\n<strong>Jeanette Charles </strong>is presently in the Doctoral Program in Strategic Development, with Mention in Multipolarity and the Integration of Our America in Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela (November 2013-present), Caracas, Venezuela.

Recent manifestations of Haitian migration are a contemporary exodus part of the historical trajectory of the larger African diaspora.  The conditions facing Haitians in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela are not without their contradictions and challenges ranging from laws rendering thousands of Haitians stateless to human trafficking of Haitian laborers. This presentation explores the ways Latin American nations look to continue their solidarity and cooperation with Haiti.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores</strong> is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino &amp; Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and a Research Scholar at Penn Institute of Urban Research, Philadelphia. Her research focuses on understanding how the urban built environment mediates community life and social inequality. Her book, Locked In, Locked Out: Gated Communities in a Puerto Rican City (University Of Pennsylvania Press: 2013), was the winner of the 2014 Robert E. Park for best book in urban and community sociology. Her new project examines race and class as enacted in the production of urban residential spaces.

She has lectured extensively throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“Are We Between or Within Black and White? Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong></p>\n\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\n\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Rosemary A.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

Trenton, NJ and Asmara, Eritrea: Africa World Press, 1999.\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“In Times of Solidarity and Tragedy: Haitians Across the Americas”</strong></p>\r\n<strong>Jeanette Charles </strong>is presently in the Doctoral Program in Strategic Development, with Mention in Multipolarity and the Integration of Our America in Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela (November 2013-present), Caracas, Venezuela.

Recent manifestations of Haitian migration are a contemporary exodus part of the historical trajectory of the larger African diaspora.  The conditions facing Haitians in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela are not without their contradictions and challenges ranging from laws rendering thousands of Haitians stateless to human trafficking of Haitian laborers. This presentation explores the ways Latin American nations look to continue their solidarity and cooperation with Haiti.</p>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores</strong> is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino &amp; Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and a Research Scholar at Penn Institute of Urban Research, Philadelphia. Her research focuses on understanding how the urban built environment mediates community life and social inequality.

She has lectured extensively throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“Are We Between or Within Black and White? Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong></p>\r\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Rosemary A.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

Bennett </strong>is professor in the Ph.D Program in History, the Graduate Center, at the City University of New York (CUNY) since 2009. He received a masters and Ph.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

Trenton, NJ and Asmara, Eritrea: Africa World Press, 1999.\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“In Times of Solidarity and Tragedy: Haitians Across the Americas”</strong></p>\n\n<strong>Jeanette Charles </strong>is presently in the Doctoral Program in Strategic Development, with Mention in Multipolarity and the Integration of Our America in Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela (November 2013-present), Caracas, Venezuela.

Recent manifestations of Haitian migration are a contemporary exodus part of the historical trajectory of the larger African diaspora.  The conditions facing Haitians in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela are not without their contradictions and challenges ranging from laws rendering thousands of Haitians stateless to human trafficking of Haitian laborers. This presentation explores the ways Latin American nations look to continue their solidarity and cooperation with Haiti.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores</strong> is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino &amp; Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and a Research Scholar at Penn Institute of Urban Research, Philadelphia. Her research focuses on understanding how the urban built environment mediates community life and social inequality.

She has lectured extensively throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“Are We Between or Within Black and White? Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong></p>\n\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\n\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Rosemary A.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

Dinzey-Flores</strong> is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino &amp; Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and a Research Scholar at Penn Institute of Urban Research, Philadelphia. Her research focuses on understanding how the urban built environment mediates community life and social inequality.

Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong></p>\r\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Rosemary A.

Building on the premise that creativity is not exclusive, and that art is for everyone, from April 17 to May 9, 2015, Taller will host an exhibition entitled <em>Art Pages, All Art is Welcomed</em>.
