Rhodes Perry Workshops
Rhodes Perry offered several workshops throughout the spring 2021 semester. Mr. Perry describes the initial session as, “Racism is pervasive in the United States. It is deeply woven into the fabric of every institution and system, including higher education. It also exists on an interpersonal level, challenging the relationships we cultivate with our peers and colleagues. During this introductory workshop, we will examine how racism arises in our daily exchanges and practice ways we can safely disrupt it using the skills and resources we will gain. Our goal will focus on the ways we can begin undoing the learned and everyday behaviors that reinforce racism. Together we will move towards building a healthier campus culture that centers those on campus least likely to feel safe.”
on these sessions, including recordings of his presentations is available.
LITS DEI Engagement Forum
LITS offers a series of videos and discussion boards, through Blackboard, designed to allow opportunity to ask questions or share experiences and explore issues of diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging. We want you to feel safe and secure in sharing, to engage in dialogue through open discussions, and take this opportunity to stretch yourself, question assumptions, and perhaps step outside your comfort zone.
