Messy Conversations, led by faculty members and students at Antioch University, offers participatory conversations focusing on anti-racism and racial justice. Join us on Monday afternoons from **12-1 PM PST/3-4 PM EST on Zoom to witness and join these open conversations. Our conversations are intimate, collaborative, critical, and attempt to find a way to move forward by engaging multiple perspectives on topics related to anti-racism. Conversations are facilitated by Antioch faculty, students, and alum and feature the voices of individuals who are actively working toward racial justice in the Antioch community and beyond. **We are moving to a new time beginning Winter 2026 to be more inclusive for our East Coast community members.
