#EndSARS Protests - a panel conversation

#End SARS is a decentralised social movement and series of mass protests against police brutality in Nigeria. The slogan calls for the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a notorious unit of the Nigerian Police with a long record of abuses. Tens of thousands of Nigerians have been demonstrating for weeks.

Join us for a panel conversation on the #EndSARS Protests and the repressive response by the state in Nigeria. Our panelists are Abosede George, Associate Professor of History and Africana Studies at Barnard College and Jacob Olupona, Professor of African Religious Traditions, with a joint appointment as Professor of African and African American Studies in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard Divinity School. The conversation will be moderated by Benjamin Twagira, Assistant Professor of History at Williams College. Audience Q&A to follow.

Co-Sponsored by the History Department, Global Studies, Africana Studies, WASO (Williams African Students Organization), and the W. Ford Schumann ’50 Program in Democratic Studies.
