Hey GSAers,
Just a quick update because it's the end of the year: AFAC, Finals, Research Papers, Oh my!
The GSA presented at COSA today on "Implied Hate Speech: Fear of 'Others' in Our Space." If you missed out, you can download it here. It's a fairly accurate outline of our discussion which we filled in with personal experiences about implicit discrimination, both towards us as members of the LGBTQA community or other minority group, friends, etc. At the end of the presentation we opened it up for discussion about the following things:
What can faculty and staff do to foster tolerance?
What value does expressions of pride in the form of chalkings have, in the context of the negative reactions that are consistently induced?
How can we reach out and have good dialogue with those people we don't agree with?
More on this later! Sometime this summer, I swear, some content will get developed. Also, I'll put up the minutes for the last meeting on Friday.
Treasurer/Webmaster,
Emily
