Volume 6 (2022) A Time for Reckoning: Reflections and Analyses for “The Sum of Us”
This special issue, A Time for Reckoning: Reflections and Analyses for “The Sum of Us” is Volume 6 of a two-volume series published by the Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Scholarship. Contributors from the University of San Francisco (USF) read The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together (McGhee, 2021) and incorporated their unique personal and scholarly perspectives in their responses. The authors also presented and discussed their articles as part of an online event sponsored by the Center for Research, Artistic, and Scholarly Excellence (CRASE) at USF in the Spring of 2022. This event and the special issue were organized by the current and past directors of CRASE - Erin Grinshteyn, Tanu Sankalia, Saera Khan, and Christine Yeh.
