Celebrating 10 Years: Decennial Report
The Penn Program on Race, Science, and Society (PRSS) was founded by Professor Dorothy Roberts at the Center for Africana Studies in the fall of 2013. To commemorate the ten-year anniversary of the program's founding, PRSS produced a "Decennial Report," which highlights the four symposiums the program has sponsored over the past decade, the program's annual Lecture & Colloquium series, the 2019 launch of the Penn Medicine and the Afterlives of Slavery Project, and the faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students who have participated in the program over the last ten years.
