Dr. Anna Marie LaChance, a Graduate Assistant at the Vergnano Institute for Inclusion, and Manuel (Manny) Ramirez, a PhD Candidate in the Department of Sociology, both at the University of Connecticut, are rising stars in their fields who actively work to bring intersectionality in the spaces they inhabit. Guided by historical figures, scholars, and advisors, they break down what antiracism means to them and the potential it has to dismantle systems of oppression, specifically in academia. By breaking hierarchical norms in the classroom and bringing validity to student experiences they actively shape what antiracist teaching can look like, setting a new standard for this work.
