Theory to Practice: Anti-Racist by Design with Associate Professor Crystal Hall

Theory to Practice is an ongoing series of discussions hosted by the Evans School that brings together academics and researchers at UW with practitioners in the field to explore key policy, governance, and social sector topics.
On December 11, 2024, the Evans School of Public Policy & Governance hosted our Theory to Practice: Antiracist by Design Book Launch with Associate Professor Crystal C. Hall. This thought-provoking event celebrated the launch of her powerful new book on advancing antiracist practices in policy and design.
The evening featured an engaging interview led by Charmila Ajmera, MPA ’20, who explored the book’s themes and its inspiring call to action for creating equitable systems through intentional design. The discussion illuminated the real-world implications of antiracist work and the challenges and opportunities of embedding these principles into practice.
Attendees were invited to join a dynamic Q&A session, where thoughtful questions deepened the conversation around antiracism and systemic change. This meaningful exchange set the stage for a community-driven dialogue, fostering connections and shared commitments to advancing equity in policy and governance.
