Join the Vassar Club of New York for an in-depth discussion about inhabiting the different worlds of Vassar College and the U.S. military and the civilian-military divide.

Join #VCNY for our next Salon featuring Jasmine Harris '05. Our conversation will explore the ways physical spaces on college campuses impact perceptions of who belongs there by race, gender, and class identities.

Jasmine Harris '05 is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Ursinus College, and co-founder of The Hues Company. Her research, writing, teaching, and entrepreneurship focus on the impacts of racism and racial inequality on Black communities and Black people as individuals, particularly when living and working in predominantly white institutional settings. Jasmine’s examination of academic experiences among Division One football and men’s basketball players has appeared in the Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Houston Chronicle, and Philadelphia Inquirer. The Hues Company has been covered by CNBC, Nylon Magazine, Glamour, Self, and BET.com, among other outlets. Her forthcoming book examines educational racism in the U.S.

Peter Molin, Rutgers University Assistant Teaching Professor and Assistant Director of the Writing Program, will share and discuss examples of this writing that he has found in his research.
