A Community Conversation on White Nationalism
February 15, 2023 - 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM ET
CancelledWe invite you to a conversation about the importance of discomfort in discussions about race and how that connects to issues like white nationalism.
White nationalism is the belief that white people have their own racial and national identity (= what makes someone who they are) and should have the most power, authority, and rights in a country based on the idea that they are better in some way than people from other groups (adapted from Cambridge dictionary definition).
In America, we live in a white supremacist culture. This country was built on racist ideals that are still apparent today. Currently, we are witnessing white nationalism on a large scale in the rise of hate crimes and overt racist rhetoric. But there are also elements of white nationalism in our day-to-day interactions with each other. Today we are going to talk about how white nationalist mindsets and frameworks are at play in our own school community.
This is a time for conversation - to share feelings, expand our minds, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear! If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)
This event will be rescheduled for a later date.
About the format. With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.

ENGAGE + Wallace House: Our Stories, Our Voice: Diversity in Journalism and Why it Matters
February 16, 2023 - 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM ET
This session is co-sponsored by the Wallace House Center for Journalists at University of Michigan
Why do Black and Brown journalists matter? In journalism and other forms of media the narratives of Black and Brown people in America have often been told from a White or mainstream perspective, resulting in skewed presentation of issues, perpetuation of stereotypes and persistent marginalization. Join us for a virtual discussion on the importance of diverse representation in media, featuring local BIPOC journalists who will discuss their experiences in the field. This session will be co-moderated by Lynette Clemetson, Director of the Wallace House Center for Journalists at University of Michigan. Panelists include Rochelle Riley, Director of Arts and Culture at the City of Detroit; Kat Stafford, National Investigative Writer for the Associated Press; and Jarrad Henderson, Visual Journalist and Filmmaker and 2022-2023 Knight-Wallace Fellow here at U-M.
