Events
9th Annual Critical Diversity Studies Forum
“We All Count: Representation, Voice, and Activism in 2020”
Friday, September 6th, 2019 1-4 pm
McLaren Complex
The year 2020 is on the horizon and will be extremely consequential. In addition to critical national, state, and local elections, 2020 also includes the decennial U.S. Census, which will help determine public policy proposals and community resource allocation for years to come. This current historical moment offers a painful reminder that we need to be vigilant to ensure that the humanity of all groups is fully recognized, honored, and counted in our political and community processes. Highlighting the connections between white supremacy, xenophobia, cis-hetero-patriarchy, exploitative capitalism, and able-bodied supremacy, the 9th annual Critical Diversity Studies Forum will engage participants in a dialogue to help answer: Which communities are represented, cared for, and “counted"? Whose voices are heard? What’s at stake? And how can we commit to effectively organize together, advocate for one another, and ensure that all are counted?
