Proposals are invited for workshops that address the conference theme: Dismantling White Supremacy – Its Power, Structures & Culture. Workshops will be offered the afternoons both days of the conference in breakout sessions lasting 90 minutes each. We expect our workshop presenters to create participatory and reflective opportunities for participants to be actively engaged and stimulated.

We seek workshops that enable participants to:
* Acknowledge and confront the construct and legacy of white supremacy in this country
* Identify how white supremacy is embedded in the policies, practices, and structures of the criminal justice, education, housing, wealth accrual, medical, social service, and land usage systems
* Become familiar with tools, resources, and networks available to those who have committed themselves to removing the vestiges of white supremacy from these systems
* Discover ways to further the internal work each of us must do in order to effectively confront institutions long grounded in white supremacy
* Learn from each other about the work currently being done to dismantle white supremacy, and how we can replicate that work in our own communities
* Creatively envision a world without white supremacy in which everyone can flourish

DEADLINE: Proposals must be received by 5:00 pm on July 22nd, 2019

Proposals are invited

You don’t want to miss the next DISCUSSIONS THAT ENCOUNTER next Thursday June 13th. A panel of phenomenal professional black women from the Silent Generation- Generation Y (Millennials) will share candid stories of racism in the workplace. This panel will expose how “MICROAGGRESSIONS” play a major role in the perception of their racial identity.

Thursday, June 13th at St. Olaf Church (215 South 8th Street, Minneapolis.) Free parking is available in the church lot, enter only from 3rd Avenue (just past the church) due to construction on 8th Street. Supper and social begin at 6:30PM with program from 6:45-8:30PM. All are welcome, free of charge!

For over twelve years, Discussions that Encounter has facilitated open discussions about race, racism and white privilege. These events are open to all and sponsored free of charge in Minneapolis on the second and fourth Thursday evening of each month. Our vision is to provide an environment where people of all walks-of-life and backgrounds can openly discuss any aspects of racism. We use video or prepared materials to pursue a specific topic with ample time for facilitated conversation. The objectives of these forums are to raise awareness, build relationships, assist all along the journey of overcoming racism, provide education on historical and current topics, and facilitate open conversations that can’t usually be approached across the “races.”

Notices are sent prior to each Discussion Forum with details on topic, location and directions. Contact Bill Keatts to receive information or to be added to the regular distribution. wkeatts@austin.rr.com

Previews of coming Discussion Forums:
6/27/19 at Plymouth Congregational Church – Jim Bear Jacobs, Director of Racial Justice at Minnesota Council of Churches, will lead us in discussion about Indigenous issues, his work in generating community discussions, and his long-standing leadership of tours of the Bdote area (junction of Minnesota & Mississippi Rivers).

Dear Augsburg Community,

I am writing to share the sad news that our dear friend Gladys Boxrud Strommen ’46 passed away peacefully Monday night with family by her side.

Gladys and her husband, Clair ‘46, who passed away in 2001, served and supported Augsburg in significant ways throughout the years.

Through a generous gift, the family established the Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work in recognition of their personal commitment to creating meaning and purpose in work and life.

They commissioned the Burning Bush sculpture in front of the Christensen Center and have two endowed funds: a scholarship fund and a program fund for the Strommen Center. Both Gladys and Clair served on the Augsburg Board of Regents and hosted many alumni gatherings at their homes in Minnesota and Florida. We will post the obituary and information about the memorial service, when it’s available.

Her loss is a big one, but her legacy will continue to be felt by generations of Auggies to come.

I am writing to share that Jodi Collen, senior director of University Events, has accepted an event planning leadership position with another organization and will be leaving Augsburg on June 4. (I’m not sure whether her new organization has yet announced her hire, so I won’t name them in this post, but you can certainly ask Jodi about her new role — it sounds very exciting.)

The impact Jodi has made during her time at Augsburg has been nothing short of phenomenal. She was recruited back to Augsburg from a corporate event planner position in 2007 to lead the events department, transforming it from a meeting and event support function into a world-class event planning operation. She set a high bar for what an Augsburg experience should be, and we will greatly miss her vision, her leadership, and her commitment to this place.

We are planning an on-campus send-off for Jodi on Thursday, May 30, at 3 p.m. in the Marshall Room. (Click the link below to add this to your calendar.) Please join us in wishing Jodi well on her new endeavor and celebrating her all amazing accomplishments at Augsburg. It’s quite a legacy!
