Why Ethnic Studies Matters: Compassion and Solidarity in Times of Strife
The purpose of this forum is multi-fold: to allow students, faculty and staff in the Department of Ethnic Studies and our allies to learn how to be allies and provide respectful support to the tribal activists and families in Standing Rock. In the second hour of the forum we will provide a space of empathy and support for those who feel afflicted by the election results in 2016, especially around issues of race, gender, and immigration status.
This forum will be facilitated by Dr. Danika Medak-Saltzman, Dr. Clint Carroll, Dr. Arturo J. Aldama, among other faculty in Ethnic Studies and allies across CU campus, including WRC & Prof. Chapin, the Law School.
Note: CNAIS faculty Danika Medak-Saltzman and Clint Carroll visited Standing Rock recently and will focus the first hour of the talk on how allies can best support the Water Protectors. Please join us!
When: Wed. Nov. 16 - 2-4pm
Where: UMC 247
