"Critical Race Theory, Democracy, and Climate Collapse: All Our Fates Are Linked" Please join for a discussion that uses the ongoing attacks against Critical Race Theory as a window onto the routine exploitation of racism in electoral politics—a strategy that not only deepens social strife, it intentionally threatens our democracy as well as society's ability to prevent climate collapse. |

"Edge Dancers: Mixed Heritage Identity Negotiation of Multi Ethnic/Racial/Marginalized College Students" One of the fastest growing minority groups in the United States are persons of mixed race/ethnic identity. This workshop will describe the study that coined the term "edge dancers" and second, how this identity process is manifesting in higher education. Students with mixed identities use their agency in four ways to negotiate their identity boundaries in the context of college programs and processes that render them invisible and excluded. Inclusive institutional strategies for mixed race/ethnic college students will be presented and discussed.

"The Moral Courage Method of Communicating Across Divides" Empathetic communication skills constitute the most crucial element of an inclusive culture. When exercised well, they replace a transactional mindset that fixates on what people are (their labels) with relationships that bring out who people are (their multiple dimensions and paradoxes). Join Moral Courage Mentor Allison Gerrard for a virtual communication workshop to learn the idea, framework, and science of Moral Courage and its method for communicating across divides. Participants will gain practical tools that can be applied to improve our empathetic communication skills. |
