Beyond Stereotypes: Inspired Natives

Zoom
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM

Join Dr. Mary Churchill (NAMS) & Dr. Erica Tom (NAMS) as they will be facilitating a session "Beyond Stereotypes: Inspired Natives" in Out of the Margins: An Anti-Racism Reading Group  Series of events. 

In response to the Academic Affairs’ Call to Action in the summer of 2020, the University Library is hosting this anti-racism reading group with the support of the Sonoma State’s Center for Community Engagement (CCE) and funded by the Office of the Provost.

Engage in a monthly, text-based discussion focused on understanding race and uprooting systemic racism along with other, converging forms of oppression. Each virtual session features a different faculty facilitator who selects texts and guides group dialogue around themes related to racial justice.
