SUMMARY:Let's Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither: Dimensions of Oppression (Personal\, Interpersonal\, Institutional\, Systemic\, Cultural)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Kennesaw State University Center for African and African Diaspora Studies as they welcome Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither for their spring conversation series\, “Let’s Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither.” \nThis workshop presents the five dimensions of oppression and offers examples of each\, as well as strategies for combating them.

Powerful change can happen when there is a systematic understanding about the inner workings of the dimensions of oppression. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither serves as the Associate Vice President for Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion at Guilford College in Greensboro\, NC. She holds a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She has worked in the field of diversity for over 15 years. Before becoming an administrator\, Dr. Hines-Gaither was a college professor for almost two decades. She taught Spanish\, (Afro)Latin American Studies\, African Diaspora Studies and Women and Gender Studies. She is a frequent speaker\, trainer and scholar on a variety of topics related to inclusion. Dr. Hines-Gaither has been quoted in national publications\, and she is a leading diversity consultant to top rated U.S. and international companies.

SUMMARY:Roundtable Discussion: Student Views on Inclusion in the Global Workplace
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nWith Atlanta’s growth as a global business hub\, corporate initiatives on diversity\, equity\, and social justice are intersecting in new ways with their mandate to cultivate a culturally competent workforce. \nA new sense of urgency seems to have gripped the business community with the racial reckoning after George Floyd’s death and the inequities spotlighted by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. \nAs one of the most concentrated higher education hubs in the U.S.\, Atlanta is graduating thousands of increasingly diverse future workers who demand bold action on these crucial issues. And with a worker shortage already taking hold in some sectors\, how well companies can meet students’ demands for meaningful social action in their workplace will become a competitiveness issue. \nAre companies ready for this new recruitment reality? Are students empowered to make their voices heard? Or does a diversity divide persist? \nJoin the Race Beyond Borders initiative for a lively\, honest conversation with Atlanta-area students. Race Beyond Borders initiative is coordinated by the Atlanta Global Studies Center. For more information: https://atlantaglobalstudies.gatech.edu/Race-Beyond-Borders \nModerator:\nTrevor Williams\, Managing Editor\, Global Atlanta \n  \n  \n\n  \n  \nSpeakers:\nFana Ruth HaileSelassie\, President\, Student Government Association\, International Studies major & graduating senior\, Spelman College \n  \n  \nMark Lannaman\, Broadcast Journalism major & graduating senior\, Georgia State University; Fellow\, Every Learner Everywhere; Associate Producer for “Crucial Conversations”\, African American Male Initiative at GSU \n  \n  \nPeter Roberts\, Professor of Organization & Management; Academic Director of Specialty Coffee Programs at The Roberto C. Goizueta Business & Society Institute \n  \n  \nTaos Wynn\, Social Advocate\, Author\, Speaker \n  \n  \n  \n  More speakers to be confirmed \n

SUMMARY:Let's Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither: Stereotype Threat
DESCRIPTION:Please join Kennesaw State University Center for African and African Diaspora Studies as they welcome Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither for their spring conversation series\, “Let’s Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither.” \nCoined by psychologist Claude Steele\, stereotype threat is the tendency to perform down to people’s expectations of a social group. In other words\, people perform not based on their abilities\, but based on how others perceive them\, especially marginalized people. This workshop unpacks the concept of stereotype threat\, its counterpart the imposter syndrome\, and offers strategies for how to combat them. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither serves as the Associate Vice President for Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion at Guilford College in Greensboro\, NC. She holds a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She has worked in the field of diversity for over 15 years.

SUMMARY:The Black Middle Class: A Myth? Feat. Dr. Maurice Hobson
DESCRIPTION:As part of their Diversity & Inclusion Series the World Affairs Council of Atlanta invites you to join them on Friday\, February 26\, 2021. \nDubbed “The Black Mecca\,” Atlanta has long been establishing herself as a city where African Americans can prosper. \nSo\, earning a middle-class income\, as the word suggests\, makes you part of the so-called “middle class\,” correct? \nThe answer is no\, according to recent Vox article\, The Mirage of the Black Middle Class. Not even for the Metro Atlanta African American households sitting firmly within that middle-class income bracket with their $55\,000 median income \nDr. Maurice J. Hobson will discuss why historical barriers to generational wealth have kept true financial prosperity and stability elusive for African Americans in Atlanta and throughout the U.S. \nDr. Hobson is an Associate Professor of African American Studies at GSU; author of The Legend of the Black Mecca: Politics and Class in the Making of Modern Atlanta; and consultant/chief historian on such documentaries as Netflix’s “The Art of Organized Noize\,” “Maynard\,” and HBO’s “Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children.”\nComplimentary & Open to All.

SUMMARY:Let's Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither: Engaging Black and African American Students through Culturally Responsive Lessons
DESCRIPTION:Please join Kennesaw State University Center for African and African Diaspora Studies as they welcome Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither for their spring conversation series\, “Let’s Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither.” \nDuring the first event in the series\, you will gain the skills to practice culturally responsive pedagogy. Gloria Ladson-Billings (1995)\, a forerunner in theorizing culturally responsive pedagogy\, defines the term as the “dynamic or synergistic relationship between home/community culture and school culture” (p. 467). In other words\, how do we bring the cultures of our students into the classroom so that learning is relevant\, relatable\, and transformative? This workshop focuses on Black college students (but is applicable to K-12). \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither serves as the Associate Vice President for Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion at Guilford College in Greensboro\, NC. She holds a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She has worked in the field of diversity for over 15 years. Before becoming an administrator\, Dr. Hines-Gaither was a college professor for almost two decades. She taught Spanish\, (Afro)Latin American Studies\, African Diaspora Studies and Women and Gender Studies. She is a frequent speaker\, trainer and scholar on a variety of topics related to inclusion. Dr. Hines-Gaither has been quoted in national publications\, and she is a leading diversity consultant to top rated U.S. and international companies. Dr. Hines-Gaither is also a popular blogger at Cup of Diversity.com. \n  \nUpcoming events in this series include: \n\n\nHow to navigate difficult dialogues on sensitive topics\nDate: Tuesday\, March 2\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nAs our world engages in difficult dialogues on a national scale\, the classroom often becomes a microcosm of current events. Educators who work with diverse students online or in face-to-face settings must have tools in their repertoire for engaging difficult dialogues. In this workshop\, you will gain hands-on strategies to incorporate\, facilitate\, and manage content related to racial tensions\, social identity\, and current events.\n\nIntersectionality\nDate: Wednesday\, March 17\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nBuilding on the foundational work of Kimberlé Crenshaw\, this workshop examines the foundations of intersectionality in terms of multiple identities\, and also intersectional failures. This workshop will also incorporate strategies for building networks of solidarity across differences\, and activism from an intersectional lens.\n\nBlack women and women of color’s strategic voice: How to be heard when no one is listening\nDate: Tuesday\, March 30\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nBlack women are often silenced and made to feel invisible in the workplace\, and in other spaces. This workshop examines institutional structures in terms of power dynamics. Gain tangible tools and strategies for how Black women can come from the margin to the center. Learn how to get to the table\, and how to maximize your space once there. These tools will be advantageous for women of color in general.\n\nStereotype Threat\nDate: Wednesday\, April 14\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nCoined by psychologist Claude Steele\, stereotype threat is the tendency to perform down to people’s expectations of a social group. In other words\, people perform not based on their abilities\, but based on how others perceive them\, especially marginalized people. This workshop unpacks the concept of stereotype threat\, its counterpart the imposter syndrome\, and offers strategies for how to combat them.\n\nDimensions of Oppression (Personal\, Interpersonal\, Institutional\, Systemic\, Cultural)\nDate: Tuesday\, April 27\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nThis workshop presents the five dimensions of oppression and offers examples of each\, as well as strategies for combating them. Many individuals are not equipped to combat oppression because they have failed to name it. Some are fighting the wrong fight. They may be attacking an issue on an interpersonal level\, that really needs an institutional response. Powerful change can happen when there is a systematic understanding about the inner workings of the dimensions of oppression.\n\n
