Colonization is a System, not a Color: More on Unlearning to Relearn.

Recognizing the pervasiveness and persistence of contemporary colonial systems and practices within educational institutions requires reflection across landscapes, cultures, and groups of many kinds. This dialogue aims to guide and support our process of unlearning and relearning as a community.

How might we engage and practice concepts of decolonization in our everyday university lives, in and out of the university? It is our hope that work such as this helps to influence change in the broader systems and societies within which we operate.

The Diverse Dialogues series provides opportunities for students, faculty and staff to have conversations about relevant issues of equity, diversity, inclusion, social justice and much more. The conversations are designed to be an informal, yet guided gathering to allow participants to educate and learn from one another. While each dialogue in the series has a centralized theme, we want to encourage participants to determine where the conversations go.

This series is meant to start the discussion on difficult topics, elevate the diversity, inclusion and equity efforts and work being done within our community, and implore individuals to push their awareness, knowledge, and action related to themes of diversity and inclusion.

Presented by Dr. Valoree Gagnon, Dr. Kari Hanquinet, Amy L. Howard, & CDI
Light refreshments will be provided. If you’re part of the dialogue, you’re part of the solution.
