Wednesday March 30, 2022 | 4:30-5:30pm | Virtual Event
Dr. Sy Stokes is this year's Olivia A. Davidson Voices of Color Speaker and will deliver a talk titled Freedom of Speech and the Politics of Morality: Campus Racial Climate in the Modern Era. This is particularly timely given events that have taken place at FSU and across the United States.
Dr. Stokes directs Coqual's qualitative research team in identifying solutions for advancing equity in the workplace. Prior to Coqual, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the National Center for Institutional Diversity at the University of Michigan.
Dr. Stokes is also the recipient of the 2021 University of Southern California Rossier School of Education Ph.D. Dissertation of the Year Award for his dissertation, Into the Wildfire: Campus Racial Climate and the Trump Presidency. His research interrogates capitalism, nationalism, white supremacy, and racism; and examines the ways that college students respond to campus racism through activism and political engagement. As an undergraduate and graduate student, Dr. Stokes gained national acclaim for his spoken word performances of "The Black Bruins" and "Dear White Counselor."
