What does it mean to live in a post-racial society? How do we negotiate, the notion of post-racial in the Global World?


Thank you for visiting the Race, Class, Gender Project in Minnesota. I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Minnesota, in African American and African Studies and Sociology. My Senior Thesis is entitled: "Post-Racial" Societies: A Comparative Study of South Africa and the United States. The Goal is to capture the unique experience of South African and African American students at Historically White institutions/Predominately White Institutions.

If you consider yourself a "Black" South African student or a "African American" student, please share your experience. Moreover, other People of Color and "White" American(s)/"white" South African(s) are welcomed to comment. I am interested in issues regarding racism on college campuses, both overt racism and covert racism. Since, these incidents are extremely sensitive and sometimes go un-reported, it is important that you share your experience, in order to combat discrimination(s) both in the Local and Global world(s).

Participation in this project will benefit students of Color at Historically White institutions and at Predominately White Institutions. Moreover, the findings of this project will be published in the future; however, all comments are confidential and anonymous. Below, is the consent agreement. Lastly, it is important to remember that all experiences are relevant, so please share your experience!
