My Home Campus Speaker Series: Facing the Fear of Hate Crimes on Campus--funded by Division of Equity & Inclusion Innovation Grant • American Cultures Center • Victoria Robinson and Hillary Power • American Indian Graduate Program • Carmen Foghorn and Cindy Andallo • Ethnic Studies Library • Lily Castillo-Speed
MHC Programs • February—Psychology Professor Rudy Mendoza on “Getting Along Across Differences on Campus.” • March—Linguistics Professor Robin Lakoff on “Civility and its Discontents.” • April—NYU Law Professor Kenji Yoshino on “Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights.” • Sept.--Panel Discussion by Campus Staff on “Exploring Issues of Inclusion, Respect and Sense of Belonging for UCB Students” • Oct.—Calif. College of the Arts Professor Maxwell Leung on “Visualizing Islamophobia: the (de)construction of Arab and Muslim American Identities.” • Nov.—Mills College Ethnic Studies Professor Melinda Micco on “Will the Real Indian Please Stand Up? Persistent Stereotypes of American Indians in Popular Culture”
What Worked • Flexibility • Regular Meetings/Communication • Teamwork • Speakers’ Generosity/Dedication • The technology (most of the time) • Publicity (finally) • “Will the Real Indian Please Stand Up?” was a “Pick” in the Nov. 16 East Bay Express
What Could Have Been Better • More $ • Less Administrative Oversight • Attendance, Especially Students
Tips • Get Partners • Be Realistic: Ask for the Funding You Really Need • Remember that Librarians Have Access to a Precious Commodity: Free Space • Have Everyone on the Team Trained in the Technology • To Ensure Student Audiences, Partner with a Student Organization
