Description
November 2016-March 2017. Other than one brief mention of my name on the In Solidarity document below, you won't find my name. I worked behind the scences but initiatied and was the primary organizer of this activity. I promoted the leadership of one of our students, Katy Carpenter, and one of our part-time faculty, Joanne Hall, who formally co-moderated the workshop, although I was given the title "Panel coordinator" as I oversaw the panel invitations until the very last minute handing it over. Although I am no longer Coordinator, and am merely an Annual Conference Committee member, I consult regularly with the coordinator and with our new CSU Sponsor Representative, Prof. Rose Frech. After the election last Fall, it fell to me to help propose and organize a plenary session and workshop right after the plenary session. This was a very difficult and politically intense task that involved a great deal of relationship-building, teamwork, outreach, civic engagement, etc. I worked with Joanne Hall, LISW, a CSU part-time faculty member and Katy Carpenter, a 2017 graduate of the Levin College and ACC member). This work took nearly several dozen hours of to complete including meetings, emails, phone calls, database development for contacts attendance at the Women’s March, the Immigration Rights march, the Interreligious Task Force on Latin American Social Justice conference (all day), and other meetings. Definitions from my SWK 303 students on intersectionality were used at the workshop and a Word Bubble of the student definitions (see attachment), developed from our definitions by Katy Carpenter (who was one of the students cited, as she studied with me in Fall SWK 303 although she is a Levin student) were displayed to the over 400 present at Tinkham Veale Center.| Period | 2016 |
