In this junctural moment, I will argue, the work of anti-racism crosses three distinct yet interrelated areas. The primary work of anti-racism, I first contend , is to enable people to critically situate themselves in time and space and at the same time question the adequacy of that location; second, to fully humanize ourselves and others; third and finally, to open cracks so that a better, environmentally friendly, peaceful, wide-awake and fully conscious future is brought into existence. These three areas have direct implications for the work of the Air Canada Professor on Anti-racism, in the context of teaching and learning within the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Education and beyond.&quot; -Professor Awad IbrahimLearn more: <a href="https://www2.uottawa.ca/faculty-education/awad-ibrahim-named-first-hold-air-canada-professorship-anti-racism" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Awad Ibrahim named as the first to hold the Air Canada Professorship on Anti-Racism</a>_﻿__________________________________________W﻿ould you prefer to attend this event virtually? <a href="https://uottawa-ca.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwqde6orzktGNVYZQnYU5_x9RJPtfuAWahY" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Register here to receive your meeting link. </a>
