Deep Dialogue

Come and explore biases and how those biases influence you and others. Sponsored by West House and Arthur Vining Davis Foundation.

Fahey-McClane Lounge
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars

Come and explore biases and how those biases influence you and others (and the first 30 people to come get a free Boloco burrito for dinner to enjoy while you participate!).  The goal of the two sessions is to help participants learn about social inequities through listening to personal experiences and testimonials of prejudice, discrimination, and oppression. We hope to create a nurturing and challenging environment where students (and faculty and staff, if they wish to participate) will comfortably share personal information. We ask that participants voluntarily share personal information with their peers in an affirming environment. These sessions are about personal sharing, listening, reflecting, and affirmation. It’s the open, honest, and respectful sharing that will make the sessions unique and powerful. It is not about discussing, debating, or teaching more on the topic. We are creating the space to help participants learn about the experiences of their peers, as well as discover their own uniqueness and be aware of biases and areas that they need to continue to explore.

Discussion led by Jennifer Sargent, Institute for Writing and Rhetoric, Women and Gender Studies

5:00-6:30 pm, Fahey Ground Floor Commons
