Understanding Students' Multifaceted Identities, April 13 |
|
| |
Please update your calendars and join us for a NACADA AdvisorConnect online webinar presentation entitled, Intersectionality: Understanding Our Students’ Multifaceted Identities.
1-2 p.m.
Wednesday, April 13
Student Success Center, Room 1203
In advising, we often think about the separate needs of specific student populations. What we may fail to understand, however, is that none of our students possess a single identity factor. Intersectionality provides an understanding of the multi-layered identities inhabited by our students (and ourselves). Grounded in reference to theorists such as Audre Lorde, Patricia Hill Collins and Evangelina Holvino, our panel will consider how we can create our own intentionally intersectionalist approach to deepen both our understanding of student needs and our critical self-reflections as advisors.
The presentation is sponsored by the Office of Retention and Student Success. For more information, click here.
