The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is pleased to invite you to the first meeting of the聽Allies Conversation Series聽on Wednesday, July 29, from 12:00 noon to 1:30 p.m.
As we continue our discussions about race with our campus community, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Maggie Lally ’82 and I will be leading the community in a discussion about the book聽White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism聽by Robin DiAngelo, PhD.
The Allies Conversation Series聽is open to everyone in the University community (students, faculty, staff, administration, alumni and parents), and is particularly intended to assist white participants to understand and address racism in order to become stronger allies with BIPOC聽(Black, Indigenous and People of Color) members of our community.
The book is available on聽聽for $9.99, or you can purchase a print version from聽聽for $13.99. While we hope that everyone will have an opportunity to read the book, we will be giving an overview of the concepts in the book in case some are unable to read it prior to the discussion.
笔濒别补蝉别听聽and we look forward to seeing you there.
Best regards,
