The purpose of this series of talks is to raise awareness in students (and ourselves) around the issue of race, racism, racist language, casual racism, white privilege and the complexities of speaking about these issues. The language of racial identity is highly charged and poses difficulties for native speakers and even more so for non-native speakers, both inside and outside the classroom. Three guest speakers and three staff members will address these topical issues in a series of presentations and conversations.

On 15 November, playwright, educator and performer Madafi Long-Pierre joins us to discuss nice racism in a session entitled "Just Call Me Black: I Know You Mean Well But…". Please complete this brief form to let us know if you will attend and what, if anything, you would like to know more about!

Please reply by Wednesday 10 November at noon.
