Calling In the Call Out Culture with Dr. Loretta J. Ross
On Wednesday, Dec. 1, at 6 p.m. MT, remember to join activist and public intellectual, Dr. Loretta J. Ross in calling in the call out culture and in the fight against white supremacy.
In this virtual webinar, Ross asks us to contemplate how we can intentionally and collectively shift our culture in order to build a united movement for human rights. She notes that in our well-intentioned activism we often use our radical consciousness to harm each other, while we are together hurting and healing, instead of coming together to fight a common oppressor. In this talk, Ross will discuss how calling out/calling in is not another false binary, but rather a continuum of accountability.
Ross is associate professor of the study of women and gender at Smith College, where she teaches courses on white supremacy, human rights, and calling in the call out culture.
This event is open to all Colorado College students, alumni, faculty, and staff and community members from the Colorado Springs area and beyond.
This is a virtual event. Register in advance for this webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

This event is part of Dismantling Hate: An Educational Series Toward Understanding and Action. This series, for the academic year 2021-22, is a campus-wide initiative that provides programming for CC students, faculty, staff, and alumni and community members from the Colorado Springs area. The purpose and goal of this educational series is to support our communities in better understanding hate — the root and outcomes — and to motivate people to take action to dismantle hate. Each educational program in the series will feature a conversation with an activist, broadly defined, who will share their work and experiences dismantling hate against marginalized communities.
