Staff Reading Group: Video Screening of "Unnatural Causes" facilitated by Dr. Jessie Harper, Assistant Dean for Faculty Affairs and Diversity

 Join us for a video screening of "Unnatural Causes," a documentary about racial and socioeconomic inequalities in health. The screening will be followed by a discussion facilitated by Dr. Jessie Harper, Assistant Dean for Faculty Affairs and Diversity. Refreshments will be served!   This initiative represents one of several activities that have been established as part of HEARD (Hub for Equity, Anti-Oppression, Research, and Development). A goal of this reading group is to discuss various readings on topics that interrogate structures of power and the re/production of forms of oppression related to race, religion, gender, class, legal status, citizenship, etc., and to consider how these issues impact our work here at GSE. It is our hope that this reading group will provide opportunities for us to learn from each other as we engage in rich conversations on these topics. This year, we will be featuring essays, articles, brief videos, and short stories written by authors who have focused on various types of oppression. We will be looking for volunteers to lead future discussions. However, please note that you don’t have to lead a discussion to participate. We’re happy to enjoy your company, conversation, and views about the featured scholarship!
