The League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge welcomes the community to Lunch
With the League from 11:30 AM EST – 1:00 PM EST on Tuesday, February 20,
2024 at the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church, 809 Oak Ridge Turnpike.

Speakers: Dr. Michelle Christian is an Associate Professor in the Department of
Sociology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She helped
develop sociology’s concentration area in critical race and ethnic
studies and co-founded the Critical Race Collective. Her research
and teaching focus is centered on understanding how racism
reproduces in the United States and globally and how we can
implement anti-racist praxis. She is widely published in academic
journals and has a forthcoming book that applies critical race theory
principles to a global understanding of race and racism with Stanford
University Press.

Dr. Dorian L. McCoy serves as the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences’
Director of Access and Engagement. His research centers on
People’s of Color experiences in higher education. More
specifically, he examines how historically underrepresented
students and faculty/administrators access and are socialized to
academia. His scholarship is grounded in critical theories including
critical race theory, social reproduction theory, and community
cultural wealth. Dr. McCoy has worked in higher education for 30
years as a student affairs (residential life) and human resources
administrator, and as faculty.

All are welcome to bring their lunch or purchase a boxed lunch for a nominal fee. Coffee and tea will be served. The presentation will begin at noon.

Lunch with the League welcomes League members and nonmembers alike to
this informative presentation.
