The Pitt Global Hub and Global Studies Center present Racialized Police Violence in Global Perspective: 5 Key Concepts.

This discussion series provides students with an opportunity to think about the most recent wave of brutal police violence in the United States in a global perspective. Participants will do up to an hour of reading, viewing, or listening in advance of each conversation; there will be no structured presentations.

Participants will receive links to the readings, videos, or audio clips prior to each session.
