Type of Event: Virtual Day of Event Contact: Dr. Stephanie Y. Evans - [email protected] This online workshop will be a mentoring space for the next generation of faculty in race and gender studies. Workshop registration will prioritize the most vulnerable university educators in marginalized fields (like African American Studies or Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies) where scholarship is under attack and devalued. The “Anti-Woke” censorship of African American Studies, Intersectionality, and Black Feminism is designed to silence scholarship that unpacks the roots of oppression by having a chilling effect on interest in reading, writing, and teaching critical history or theory. In short, censorship and intimidation are designed to keep us from doing our work. This 1-hour online mentoring workshop supports instructional faculty working in higher education who may feel especially uneasy in times when race and gender studies are (again, as always) under a microscope. This is exactly the time we must make our voices heard! If you are working on a book proposal or book-length manuscript in race and gender studies--particularly on projects informed by Intersectionality and Black Feminism--register for this workshop to learn more about strategies to complete your book project despite the chaos of these trying times.

Type of Event: Virtual Day of Event Contact: Text Arie Goodman at 330-234-0921 The Freedom to Learn Network is hosting this day of "national resistance ... to interrupt the ... anti-equity and anti-truth movement that our democracy ... We are taking back our power to organize, educate, and resist." The Center for Research Education Activism and Development (CREAD) is proud to join this effort. On this day, we will facilitate a teach-in to learn in community and discuss issues like the erasure of our history, book bans, voter suppression and gerrymandering. It's all connected. So join us! Invite friends and family, anyone who is concerned about these issues and is interested in seeking change. We'd especially welcome the participation of high school students. We look forward to seeing you all!
