February Every Third Friday: Changing Our View of Identity in a Time of Change
Join us on Friday, February 19, at 1:30 p.m. for this month’s Every Third Friday session, "Changing Our Identity in a Time of Change - A Starter for Agency Diversity Education," presented by Dr. Craig Rotter, Executive Director for the Texas Rural Leadership Program.
An increasing need for the ability to navigate avenues for diversity education is upon us. Social movements calling for historic change and civil unrest focused on equity are at the forefront of our news cycles, our community engagement, and our current experiences within the United States. Identity awareness is a solid area in which to begin dialogue and conversation that can lead to greater understanding of one another and the issues so deeply woven into our existence. If there was ever a more poignant time to improve skill sets, increase knowledge, and explore the topic of personal identity and the impact it has on who we are as individuals and as a collective, it is now. Exploring identity without demonizing is a key to the success of this tested workshop. Demonstrating a process through which conversation may lead to greater understanding is a foundation of this workshop.
A meeting invitation with the zoom link will be sent through the KSRE Listserv.
