The Office of Equity, Inclusion and Community Engagement at Madison College invites you to our Counterpoint Speaking Series. On Thursday, March 25, 3 p.m., we welcome Rosa Clemente virtually to our Madison College campus.
These timely discussions offer different perspectives on how to disrupt and challenge whiteness and the dominant narratives. Each speaker will contribute ways to give voice to oppressive experiences and share their personal story and strategies to mitigate microaggression. These experiences will highlight how dominant narratives influence the workplace, classroom, and policies framed.
