DESCRIPTION:“The Long Arc of a Nation: Historical Narratives and Future Pro
 jections of Racism and Race in the United States and Canada\,” presented b
 y Derek Robey\, postdoctoral researcher for the Qualitative Data Repositor
 y.The&nbsp\;construction of collective memory has served as a\npowerful na
 tion-building tool for centuries. In recent years\, previously sacred\nhis
 torical figures and national myths have been called into question and\nout
 right rejected by many in the United States and Canada. Derek's research e
 xplores\nthis moment of "historical reckoning" through&nbsp\;a content ana
 lysis\nof more than 200 articles in newspapers or magazines&nbsp\;and 173 
 in-depth\ninterviews with residents of four metro areas in the two countri
 es: Boston\,\nMinneapolis\, Toronto and Vancouver. In this presentation\, 
 he will address two\nprimary research questions:(1) How do residents under
 stand the symbolic and\nmaterial stakes of collective memory contestation?
  (2) What enables some white\nresidents to endorse&nbsp\;a new collective 
 memory schema that\nwould&nbsp\;ostensibly undermine their social privileg
 e?
