Alternative MLK Jr. Day Faculty and Staff Workshop

submitted by reeck@augsburg.edu

Unfortunately both the morning and afternoon “White Talk Moves in Higher Education” workshops are at capacity and cannot accept anymore registrations.

If interested however, there is an alternative MLK Jr. Day Faculty and Staff Workshop being led by Mike Grewe, Assistant Dean of Students & Director of Campus Life. This workshop is entitled “Recognizing and Resisting White Supremacy in Higher Education” and is taking place at 9:00-10:30 a.m. via Zoom. This workshop allows participants to explore how white supremacy and racism manifest themselves within classroom and co-curricular spaces, including but not limited to the ways we process knowledge, engage with conflict, think about power dynamics, deliver content, and design assignments. Participants will also discuss ways of creating classes, programs, and events that resist white supremacy and embrace other forms of cultural knowledge and understandings.
