Please join The Office of Inclusion and Multicultural Engagement for a gathering to reflect upon the immense impact the Portland MAX incident has had on ourselves and our city.
Empowering Students, Transforming Discipline, Building Community
Wednesday-Thursday, May 24-25, 2017
To help improve our listening skills and our cross‐cultural communication, we are hosting two campus-wide forums. Lunch will be provided.
Come and join Joe-Barry Gardner in this Passport to Leadership Workshop where we break down the strengths of different Superheroes and correlate them to the strengths you already currently use.
Jeff Chang, cultural critic and author
Kasia Rutledge of Metropolitan Public Defender/Portland NLG will lead a workshop to help us unpack issues of implicit racial bias and microaggressions, and learn to have dynamic, honest conversations about race. Lunch provided, vegan diets welcome.
This forum will provide a space for discussing how we can accomplish the goal of prioritizing diversity in General Education.
• What do we mean by diversity?
• How can we guarantee that all students graduating from L&C grapple with issues of cultural difference and social power?
• Should exploring diversity be one of the goals of a core class like E & D?
