School of Education Diversity Film Series presents "And nobody said anything: Uncomfortable Conversations about Diversity"
As part of the School of Education's Diversity Film Series, the DVD,
"And nobody said anything: Uncomfortable Conversations about Diversity"
will be shown in the ERC (basement of Huntingon Hall) on Wednesday
April 27th from 1- 2:30.
The DVD, which was produced by Mara SApon-Shevin of the School of
Education and Prof. Richard Breyer of Newhouse, shows five vigenettes
related to critical teaching moments in our classroom and raises issues
of free speech/hate speech, classroom climate, pedagogy, confronting
oppressive behavior, and a host of other topics related to teaching for
social justice. Each vignette was drawn from focus groups conducted with
students at SU.
All are invited to attend. We will watch each vignette and then have
opportunities for lively discussion. Refreshments will be served.

Ryan Sennett Wins Foundations Award
Congratulations to Ryan Sennett, second year TA, for winning the Foundations Award for
teaching and curriculum at the LGBT Rainbow Banquet on April 21, 2005.
He was nominated by one of his students this semester, and the award is
a tribute to his ability to engage students with challenging questions
about sexuality, gender, and masculinity in WRT 105. It is also a
tribute to the assignments and course designs developed by the 670 team
(led by Anne Fitzsimmons) and the diversity initiative (led by Margaret
Himley), and funded by the Vice Chancellor's Fund for Diversity.
