Join us on Friday, September 11 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern for the next conversation in Morgan State University’s Fall 2026 Higher Education and Student Affairs Talk Series.

Cultivating Joy in Perilous Times: A Q&A about the Research on Black Joy

Dr. Antar A. Tichavakunda, Associate Professor of Race and Higher Education at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will draw from his research on Black students navigating historically white institutions, critical theories, and his own experiences as a scholar to reflect on joy in increasingly polarized and perilous times.

This session will offer space to think seriously about Black joy as a subject of research, practice, and possibility in higher education.

The webinar is free and open to the public.
