Anti-Racism 101: Speaking Truth to Power, via Zoom
(Student Life)
|
Description: |
Examine centuries of abuse and usurpation designed to oppress communities of color that have resulted in the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Tony McDade. The session will begin the conversation on anti-racism by reflecting on the deeply entrenched racial history of the U.S. and contextualizing that history to better examine the protests and rebellions we are experiencing today. Panelists include Claire Chevrier, Georgetown Law graduate and ACLU of Ohio policy attorney, and Dr. Jean Swindle, assistant professor of education at East Tennessee State University.

Anti-Racism 101: An Anti-Racist Toolkit, via Zoom
(Student Life)
|
Description: |
Are you asking yourself what can you do? Want to support Black organizers and communities of color in their fight against racial iniquity? Are you inappropriately leaning on your friends of color to help educate you on issues of racial injustice? Then consider attending the Anti-Racism sessions below. Join Dr. Jim Neighbors, associate professor of English and co-coordinator of the African/African-American Studies Program, and Erin Keith, a Georgetown Law graduate and Policy Attorney with the Detroit Justice Center, for a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Camille Bethea, associate professor of Spanish and chair of the Modern Languages Department. During this session attendees will engage in the deliberate and intentional act of decolonizing contemporary understandings of equity, inclusion and allyship to develop effective methods in disrupting systems of injustice through anti-racist behaviors and actions in our lives. This session is open to all attendees with a willingness and commitment to understand that their dominate identity can be used to center and uplift marginalized voices as equal partners in disrupting racist, oppressive systems of inequity wherever present in contemporary American society.
