The Impact & Intent of Identity: The Power of Words
The President's Commission on Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity and Diversity invites the entire campus community to the annual Affirmative Action Day program.
"The Impact & Intent of Identity: The Power Of Words"
As we face ongoing societal issues of how we identify/label one another, it is important that we understand the impact such labels make on community interaction, cultural awareness and diversity, and overall human relations.
This panel discussion will focus on the way words/labels have historically and linguistically affected groups of people (externally and internally), and look at its current effects on us (profiling, bullying, etc.), through personal and community perspectives.
