April 11th at noon in Kling Lounge -- Communications Matters! with Dr. Christopher House
Dr. House's discussion will explore and question the ways that communication establishes and enacts identity and power dynamics. He will critically analyze social identities as they are communicated, shaped, and are reshaped through communication and in thinking about communication from the standpoint of becoming global citizens.

April 18th at noon in Kling Lounge -- Voter ID: The only Clear and Present Fraud with Dr. Donathan Brown
With much debate over the existence of wide-spread voter fraud and the voter identification laws that have followed, much controversy continues to exist at the intersection of race, voting rights and socio-political retrogression. Dr. Brown will discuss relevant questions like: How many individuals have actually been convicted of voter fraud in states like Colorado and Texas? What role do these laws play with respect to race and maintaining political dynasties?

May 2nd at noon in Kling Lounge -- Allying with Equity: the Meaning of Diversity at IC with Dr. Paula Ioanide
Dr. Ioanide's talk will focus on defining and understanding how implicit bias works in higher education, with a view toward identifying some best practices for reducing bias-related harms.
