Join us for a lunchtime event about how we can better support our Black colleagues and students. We aim to create a brave space (the space right between the comfort zone and the trigger/danger area), where we can all hear each other with openness and grow together.
What? Better Ally Series - intersectional feminism
When? Thursday March 17th, 1-2:30pm PST
Where? Zoom (link sent out prior to event)
The format of these events is lunchtime conversations. We will start with a discussion of the need for intersectional feminism, based on
Audre Lorde's essay "Age, Race, Class, and Sex- Women Redefining Difference":
