Important Information
Description
We will use this conversation to inform us as we make programming plans for the notion of solidarity. We ask that each person come to the meeting having written a case. Each case should be 2 to 3 pages. More specific directions will be sent to you. Along with the case study instructions, we will send: the meeting schedule, a description of the emerging initiative on solidarity, goals, and a full list of our preliminary questions.
Questions for the Gathering
In our conversation will be exploring such critical questions as:
- What does it mean as BIPOC colleagues to be in relationship that is not dependent upon the white gaze?
- What will it mean to shed, heal from, or dismiss the anti-black culture to which we have been indoctrinated.
- What kinds of courages are needed for solidarity?
