CAHSS hosts Inclusive Campus Conversations, April 22

NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) invites you to participate in an Inclusive Campus Conversation on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 at 4:30 p.m. via Zoom. This month’s conversation is entitled, “Become a change you want to see!”

In this interactive session, we invite you to consider how one person or a small group can start a momentum of social change. Some of these change agents include “names behind the names,” meaning individuals whose courageous acts advanced and supported the well-known actions of people such as Jackie Robinson and Rosa Parks. We will also look at the affect that the current pandemic has had on perceptions about Asian-Americans.

Facilitators will include graduate students in the Racism and Ethnic Relations in America class taught by Judith McKay, J.D., Ph.D., in the Department of Conflict Resolution Studies. The students are Oscar de Tuya, Damaris Hall, Meilin Jiang, Debbie Lawrence, Jeanette Noble, Shannon Parker, Lizyvette Ramos, and Zeev Zilber.

For more information about Inclusive Campus Conversations, please contact Stephen Levitt, LL.M., at levitts@nova.edu or Robin Cooper, Ph.D., at robicoop@nova.edu.
