Lecture by Dr. Jeanette Nicewinter: “Modern Art: Native American Style”

Virtual

Many Native American artists, like Kay Walkingstick, created abstract art that emphasized the materiality of their work. But, their self-identity as Native Americans has overshadowed their contribution to modern art. This talk will examine how mid-century Native American modern artists participated in the modern art scene.

The lecture will be given by Jeanette Nicewinter PhD. She is an assistant professor of art history at Northern Virginia Community College. Dr. Nicewinter earned her PhD in art historical studies from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Courageous Conversation with Brenda Lee: “Two Steps Forward and Three Steps Back: Examining the Relationship between Racism and Generational Trauma”

Virtual

From slavery to criminalization, racism has been a part of America's society for generations. Race-related events can have lasting traumatic effects on an individual. Centuries of unresolved trauma still impact the Black Community today. Not only do we struggle to overcome the problems that we've had before — but we also have to find a way to fix the problems that have come from the trauma.

Courageous Conversation with Tammy Hodo: “Implicit Bias and Microaggressions Taking Place on Campus”

Virtual

We have seen in the news students getting harassed at school by friends and sometimes teachers. A student at Yale had a suitemate call the police because she fell asleep in the common area. A professor called the police on another professor when the other person was just eating lunch in the classroom before class started.

These are all examples of microaggressions. It can happen in classrooms due to power differentiation, identity, and lack of interaction. In this conversation, we will talk about these everyday subtle comments people say that hurt members of marginalized communities. It is important to also talk about implicit bias because it is something that everyone has and may not even know is a problem.

Courageous Conversation with Brian Sorge: “How Everyone, Including White People, Can Take Responsibility and be Anti-Racist”

Virtual

To create a more diverse, fair, and anti-racist environment, we need to understand how our lives shape our perceptions and behaviors.

In this conversation, we will:

- Discuss how our own lives impact the way we think about, and value, other people's experiences.
- Review how taking responsibility for the impact we have is a necessary step to being part of the solution.
- Identify next steps actions that we all can do to help build cultures that are anti-racist.
