Tik Tok, Language, and Liberation: Moving beyond “Race Talk” at a Selective Liberal Arts College
Dec. 6, 3:30-5 p.m.
Tutt Library 411/412
The goal of this session is to surface, discuss, and interrogate the ways in which the language of antiracism is promoted, but also appropriated, through discursive moves of “white civility” (Coleman, 2008). In this workshop, we will work together to better understand how antiracist language — that is often circulated in and by corporate, social media entities — surfaces in classrooms, but may or may not be actualized in interpersonal, departmental, institutional, and even cultural relationships, policy, and action.
Facilitator: Nickie Comer, Ph.D., assistant professor of education, managing editor of Multiple Voices

Crown Forum: Antiracism Implementation Plan Goal #4
Dec. 7, 3:30-5 p.m.
Tutt Library 238
The FEC’s number one priority this year is to support the college in implementing the antiracism plan goals while upholding academic freedom. We are co-sponsoring a series of forums from Blocks 2-7 with each forum focusing on a specific goal of the antiracism plan. The summary of feedback from past forums is available on the FEC Canvas. Coming soon, the notes will be available on the Crown webpage.
We sincerely hope that you will attend and give us your feedback to inform our future work on implementing the antiracism plan goals. The goal for this forum is to discuss how to support and engage all faculty and staff in antiracism work.
Please join us for a courageous but mutually respectful dialogue. To make the forum as productive as possible, please review the initiatives that are part of this goal, which can be found here, and review a glossary of ADEI terms, which can be found here.
Peony Fhagen
Senior Associate Dean of Equity, Inclusion, and Faculty Development
