21st Annual Ray Warren Symposium Explores the Concept of Borders

This year’s Ray Warren Symposium on Race and Ethnic Studies, held November 13-15, is titled On the Border. It will examine the different borders we experience, the role of borders in our lives, and the relationship between borders and ideas of race and ethnicity.
