Illuminating the Crosscurrents of Racism and Sexism:
A Practice-Based Approach to Transforming Multiple Oppressions
Thursday, Nov. 22nd
4:00 - 5:30
Education Rm 2001
The Student Teachers’
Anti-Racism Society (STARS) warmly invites you to join special guest Dr.
Karla Jessen Williamson in examining the relationship between the lived
realities of racism and sexism in Canadian
society. While each subject merits in-depth and careful examination,
engaging the two forms of violence concurrently bears new understandings
about the multiple and shifting spaces in which these forms of violence
are played out. The event will include two
objectives: the first is to bring into focus the ways racism and sexism
are leveled against Women of Color in Canadian society, and the second
is to collaboratively engage a selection of resources that may be used
by practitioners to address racism and sexism
in the classroom. All are welcome to this event. We would greatly
appreciate it if you would be willing to share this invitation among
your email networks. Refreshments will be provided.
