Dear all,
we had a wonderful time last week in webinar 3 practicing being active bystanders, and we will continue that during webinar 4 (see schedule below). In the meantime, if you would like to submit other scenarios of microaggressions that you would like to work on during webinar 4, please do so
here (in the first question select "
Scenario for the webinar 4 role-play").
Next week, Wednesday November 17 from 3 to 5pm Eastern we will have a reading club. We will continue our conversation on Francis Su's speech "Mathematics for Human Flourishing." You can find the transcript
here or a video
here. Come join us even if you do not have the capacity to engage fully with this content, we will summarize the speech in the first 10 minutes or so.
Finally, there is one last assignment for you all, which is a way to reflect on what you have learned in this series of webinars, and how that has impacted your thinking. You can find it
here.
As always, we are happy to discuss any of this in office hours! Here is the schedule of remaining activities this fall:
Nov. 17th - Reading Club
