• Summary

  “Approaching Reparations”, a series of five commissioned essays engaging the topic of reparations as it intersects with the arts and lived experience, is published by the blog of the Center for the Humanities at the Graduate Center, CUNY.
  The Center for the Humanities blog seeks to extend the work of public humanities at CUNY to new conversations, perspectives, and audiences. Publishing undergraduate and graduate student writers alongside established poets, scholars, and artists, this digital platform provides a space for critical work stemming from projects, programming, and working groups supported by the Center for the Humanities.
  “Approaching Reparations” is published in tandem with JACK’s Reparations365, a two-year series of performances, workshops and discussions around the topic of distributive justice for Black Americans. Launched in February 2017, the series consists of at least 20 public offerings featuring a convergence of scholars, artists and activists. Through the series, participants are discovering multiple ways to engage with the topic, all with an intention of offering tangible take-ways for participants and a concrete movement forward.
