Costumizing Racism: Power and Privilege in Academic Spaces
A public forum organized by the UMass Civil Rights Committee of the GEO/ Graduate Employment Organization
WEDNESDAY, DEC 5, 2007 @ 3 p.m.
UMass Campus Center Room 101
The Civil Rights Committee of the Graduate Employment Organization is hosting a public forum to discuss racist displays, the invisibility of minorities, and the role of the institution regarding racism. UMASS faculty will comprise a panel from which short presentations will be made with a discussion to follow.
This forum is a community event and everyone is encouraged to attend. Because of recent events at Smith and UMASS, the Civil Rights Committee has decided to hold this public forum so that our community can dialog in a safe and open place. The Civil Rights Committee was formed to support students with grievances concerning racism, sexual harassment and gender bias.
