Teachable Moment at University of Alaska Southeast

What they need to explain is how the day they marked off for a “Power and Privilege” conference differs from any other day when they don’t cancel classes. “The 3rd 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,” the announcement reads. “Discussions include those about race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, religion, body size, ability, mental illness, class, and their intersectionalities.”

“Most UAS Juneau classes will be cancelled to allow students and faculty the opportunity to attend and/or present at the Symposium.”
