2007 Campus Dialogue on Race

The Campus Dialogue on Race is an annual event at Humboldt State University that invites students, staff, faculty, administrators and community members to present and attend programs that relate to racial justice and its intersections with other forms of oppression. Our objective is to create spaces and structures for reflection, analysis and dialogue. This year’s Dialogue will run from November 1st to 9th.

The vision of Campus Dialogue on Race is to achieve racial justice and eliminate social oppression and environmental destruction. The program’s mission is to promote and facilitate social and environmental change by engaging a diverse range of individuals, communities and viewpoints to explore the impact of racism and its intersections with all forms of oppression.

Each year College of the Redwoods and Humboldt State University choose a Common Book, the themes of which become part of the Campus Dialogue on Race. This year’s book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini which is set in Afghanistan, deals with history, ethnicity, politics, war, gender, class and Islam in Afghanistan and America.

Your proposals should aim to do one or more of the following:

1. Enhance the mission and vision of Campus Dialogue on Race,

OR

2. Provide opportunities for analysis, reflection or dialogue centered around the themes raised in this year’s Common Book.

Deadline for submitting proposals is September 28th by 5PM
