Commencement Programs. 115. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/upub_commence/115 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT I congratulate the members of the Class 0/2011 and you rfamilies on the achievement we mark at these Commencement exercises. The past years have been a time of change, progress, and exhilaration for each ofyou, and for the institution you have been a part of. Our University, long a leader in our region, has grown stronger every year you have been with us. Many of you contributed mightily to our success. You arrived at UConn well prepared for higher learning, intellectually curious, and perhaps a bit anxious about the life you were entering Now, as you leave us, you can take satisfaction in Imowing you met high standards in and out of the classroom, took advantage of the opportunities we ofJered, and prepared yourselves well for the challenges that lie before you. Those challenges may be substantial. You enter a world shaped by economic turmoil, acts of terror; religious and ethnic con~ict, and technological advances that may bode good or ill. It will befor each ofyou, in your own way, to try to build a better society, even as you strive to build meaningful and productive lives for yourselves. It is said that of those to whom much is given, much is asked. You have been given supportive families, a nation built on democratic values, and, now, afirst-class education.

I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

It examines how American novels respond to the pressures of what has been called the paradox of the postrace era: that our images and rhetoric portray a nation moving toward racial equality while our statistics actually reveal the opposite. I argue that through the use of features such as futuristic orientation, racially unmarked characters, and the reconfiguration of racial groupings, postrace novels attempt to unsettle our notions of race – a paradoxical endeavor, for attempts to unsettle a category ultimately invoke it again. Capable of interrogating emergent cultural phenomena, postrace novels provide a crucial vantage point from which we can interpret the shifting operations of race in the 21st century.
