SUMMARY:Antiracist Praxis Study Circle\, Summer 2022
DESCRIPTION:Application Deadline: FRI. 5/27/22 \nAPPLY NOW >> \n\nNOTE: Participation will be limited to keep the group a manageable size.\n\nStudy Circle Meetings: ONLINE via Zoom\, on Wednesdays from 3-5 pm (CDT) as follows: \n\nWednesday\, June 15\nWednesday\, June 22\nWednesday June 29\nWednesday\, July 13\nWednesday\, July 20\n\nFacilitator: Cydnee Sanders \nDescription: Many of us have heard the terms antiracist and DEI (diversity\, equity and inclusion)\, but how do we actually implement these large frameworks into our adult English classrooms? This study circle goes beyond defining antiracism and explores how the research around Translanguaging by Ofelia García and Culturally Responsive Teaching by Zaretta Hammond provide us with tools to change the way we approach teaching. \nThe study circle is not intended to be a basic “what is racism” professional development activity\, so we have some working assumptions and hope those interested in joining can agree to start with these foundational beliefs: \n\nRacism is systemic. White supremacy and systemic racism are leading problems in our education system. These systems are especially harmful to people of color and the English language learners we serve.\nIdentifying and addressing implicit bias is paramount to this work. It is a personal journey\, and we all enter this work together from different places.\nIt is not enough to be “not racist” but we have to be intentionally antiracist.\nWe are willing to work in a collaborative environment and to hold each other accountable.\n\nTime Commitment: 5 two-hour meetings\, plus an expected 1-2 hours per week of preparation by reading\, viewing\, and reflecting on assigned tasks \nCEUs: 20 for those who attend ALL 5 meetings and complete all study circle activities \nStipends: $100 for those who attend ALL 5 meetings and complete all study circle activities \nIf you require ASL Interpretation\, please contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu \n

SUMMARY:Beyond “Etiquette” & Towards Equity: Radical Disability Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: TUE. 6/7/22 \n2020 changed us\, no doubt. But\, what many marginalized people — including people with disabilities — are doubtful of\, is whether or not reckonings about access and inclusion are here to stay. Even though some organizations are beginning to ask long-overdue questions of accessibility that start to move beyond ramps and elevators\, still in 2021\, even equity-minded organizations continue to lag behind in disability inclusion. \nPeople with disabilities make up one of the most inherently intersectional identity groups\, but non-disabled people still primarily frame conversations about disability as “etiquette\,” instead of “equity.” Now is our time to prove we are willing to do what it takes to focus our imagination on shifting power. Join us to move beyond basic terminology and etiquette by centering an equity and disability rights lens to address real and systemic gaps in access for people with disabilities in workplaces and communities more broadly.
