The members of the Diversity Awareness Committee (DAC) invite you to attend our monthly meeting, on Tuesday, November 10th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., in the Human Resources Conference Room, Garden Level of the Peggy Ryan Williams Center, and participate in a discussion on Microaggressions, facilitated by one of our committee members, RahK Lash, Assistant Director of Multicultural Affairs.
(Due to conflict with the Veteran's Day Celebration, we have changed the time time of this event to 2:00 p.m.)
We study and learn from marginalized groups the extent and effects of oppression but, until recently, spend less time exploring privilege groups and how power is perpetuated. In this DAC meeting, we will briefly explore the framework of intersectional privilege. By completing a diversity awareness profile, attendees will be able to critically think about their own membership in social identity groups, investigate the true degree of their social justice promulgation, and draft a personal plan of action for ways in which they can promote the Platinum-Rule of social justice in their respective environments on our campus.
If you would like to join us, please rsvp by emailing mriosdominguez@ithaca.edu. For your convenience, I have included the 2015-2016 meeting schedule below. We invite you to consider joining us to strengthen community through dialogue and education. We are looking forward to seeing you at a meeting!
Sincerely,
The Diversity Awareness Committee
