Interrogating the Histories and Futures of “Diversity’’ Symposium (October 16, 2017 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/45224 45224-10116110@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 16, 2017 9:00am
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Anthropology

The symposium will investigate the concept, history and institutional implications of the discourse and practice of “diversity” as an emerging globalized form of inclusion.

To what extent does “diversity’’ sustain the status quo and to what extend does it transform it? How does “diversity’’ work in relation to demands for social justice? What are other means of inclusion? How are they working and being theorized in particular global contexts?

Cuts Pt 2: Responding to Student Climate Concerns (October 16, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44859 44859-9992103@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 16, 2017 12:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Though the University of Michigan aspires to cultivate a climate that is welcoming to the members of its diverse student, faculty, and staff bodies, we know that the lived experiences of many in our communities don't always align with these aspirations. Join the CRLT Players for Cuts:Responding to Student Climate Concerns, a two-session series, that invites participants to think together about the many forces that can shape campus climate both positively and negatively. Built around a series of vignettes that explore students' experiences of marginalization, each session offers a space where participants can practice engaging in difficult conversations about and across differences in identity while also reflecting on their personal responsibilities to cultivating inclusive and equitable spaces within and outside of the classroom.

In the second session, participants will:

- Consider the impacts of an 'isolated' bias incident on a targeted student

- Reflect on the ways they listen to others' stories about negative experiences of climate at U-M

- Develop strategies for responding to concerns shared with them in ways that might mitigate rather than exacerbate existing climate concerns
