Cabrera virtual event White Immunity: Working Through the Pitfalls of Privilege with Dr. Nolan L. Cabrera virtual eventJune 4, 2020@4:00 pm - 5:00 pm “How can poor white people be privileged?” How many times have you encountered that question in a discussion on white privilege? In this engaging and thought-provoking SpeakOut webinar, scholar and authorNolan Cabrera, PhD, offers a new way to address this question with the concept of “White Immunity” – the social inoculation that white people experience as a result of being white in a systemically-racist society. This framework helps work through some of the pitfalls of “privilege.”Cabrera links the history of racial oppression and whiteness to contemporary times, including a lookat the current uprisings against police killings of Black people. Based on 15 years of research for his award-winning book,White Guys on Campus: Racism, White Immunity, and the Myth of “Post-Racial” Higher Education, Cabrera explores how white immunity informs racial conflicts ranging from cultural appropriation, racism on college campuses, white men using the n-word, and the re-open “protesters.”Ultimately, he calls for radical empathy and racial responsibility for white people that stems from their white immunity.https://tinyurl.com/ycthr93v Caribbean Studies Association 2020 Annual Conference Caribbean Studies Association 2020 Annual ConferenceJune 4, 2020 Georgetown, GuyanaUnfortunately the CSA conference has been postponed until 2021.

Password: 778578 Health Care Humanity Dignity Philadelphia Fight Zoom Webinar Health Care Humanity Dignity Philadelphia Fight Zoom WebinarJune 12, 2020@10:00 am - 11:30 am ZoomThis webinar focuses on the individual and structural biases that affect the American healthcare system which have serious emotional and physical consequences that all too often go unseen. These biases are often rooted in power, class, racial, gender or sexual orientation prejudices, and as a result, the injured parties usually lack the resources needed to protect themselves. In Healthcare and Human Dignity by Frank M. McClellan, individual worth, equality, and autonomy emerge as the dominant values at stake in encounters with doctors, nurses, hospitals, and drug companies. Although the public is aware of legal battles over autonomy and dignity in the context of death, the everyday patient’s need for dignity has received scant attention. Thus, in this webinar law professor Frank McClellan, FIGHT Pediatrics Medical Director--Dr. Mario Cruz and FIGHT in-house counsel Deone Powell, Esquire will explore a collection of cases and individual experiences that bring these stories to life and establish beyond doubt that human dignity is of utmost priority in the everyday process of healthcare decision making.https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FHealthcareHumanDignity2020 data=02%7C01%7Cclb301%40press.rutgers.edu%7C1a3e7db6a0424ac8b99208d80cb382a5%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C0%7C637273312417326599 sdata=E%2FS8ZUzde1tIWuP%2FxbdUQkMFGOmJk90pOOkRJZfEfBo%3D reserved=0 Walking Harlem virtual event with Sisters Uptown Bookstore Walking Harlem virtual event with Sisters Uptown BookstoreJune 13, 2020@2:00 pm - 3:00 pm ZoomJUNE 13, 2020, 2PM-3PM!
