Challenging Chinaphobia: Gender Differences
Kesho Scott
Wednesday, 16 Oct 2013 at 8:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
Kesho Scott is an associate professor of American Studies and sociology at Grinnell College and a diversity trainer with more than two decades of experience leading programs to unlearn racism. She developed an "affirmative duty" technique for facilitating workshops that help participants shift their awareness, commitment and skill-set away toward being actively and personally anti-racist and anti-sexist, rather than passive observers. Kesho Scott is the author of The Habit of Surviving: Black Women's Strategies for Life, and coauthor of Tight Spaces.Cosponsored By:
