Contemporary Issues Forum, "The Truth Behind Race and Intelligence"

Extra Credit

For centuries people have wondered whether there are links between the race of an individual and her or his racial background. A myriad of scientists and puedo-scientists have explored the question with often controversial results. Even despite the Age of Obama and supposed color-blindness of modern American society, many Americans still believe intelligence is related to race on some level (see "Intelligence and how to get: why schools and cultures count", Nisbett, 2009), including those from communities of color. Join us in a discussion of race, intelligence and intercultural relations in today's society. Featuring Prof. Michael D. Cauthen (UNCG African American Studies Program)

When: Tuesday, September 20, 4pm-530pm
Where: Multicultural Resource Center, EUC 062
