Conscious Classrooms Online Workshop: Quanrantining the "Other" - June 4, 2020 |
Part of the "Building a Better US" Online Series
Date: Tuesday, June 4
Time: 3:00-4:30 pm (PST)
Description:
How do ISMs show up in times of panic? How do mainstream narratives harm our communities? How have stereotypes and racist, sexist and homophobic tropes been used historically to continue to subjugate our most marginalized communities? What can we learn from the past to ensure that we never let this happen again? This workshop will explore ways in which historical moments of panic have created narratives that further marginalize our most vulnerable communities. Students in this workshop will work to connect the past to the present moment, and identify ways that we can practice solidarity and allyship as a way of protesting these problematic narratives.
