The 2nd Annual UAS Power & Privilege Symposium is a one day conference-style teach-in designed to give members of the UAS & Southeast Alaska communities an opportunity to come together and engage in difficult, thoughtful, and honest conversation about the ways social hierarchies and identities manifest themselves in our communities. Discussions include those about race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, religion, body size, ability, mental illness, class, and their intersectionalities. The Symposium will include keynote speakers, multiple breakout sessions, and performances. The event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged and will be available in October on the event website.
Most UAS classes will be cancelled to allow students and faculty the opportunity to attend and/or present at the Symposium. Check your class syllabus or talk with your professors to see if your classes will be cancelled on the day of the event.
While the Symposium will be held on the UAS Juneau campus, keynote speeches and a selection of breakout sessions will be available live via distance. Local events will also be occurring at the Sitka & Ketchikan campuses on this day.
Find out more about how to submit a session proposal, who the keynote speakers are, what the schedule for the day looks like, and more at the Symposium website.
