Wednesday, January 29, 2013
7:30 PM - Rm 216 Living/Learning Commons
A brief discussion of the themes follows each screening.
About the film: Exploring race and racism in the U.S,
White Like Me looks through the lens of whiteness and
white privilege, based on the work of anti-racist educator Tim
Wise.
About the Social
Justice Film Series: Brought to you by the Center for
Cultural Pluralism, the Spring 2014 Social Justice Film Series
theme is "Colorblind / Colorbind" and
offers participants an educational opportunity to explore
through film and subsequent discourse issues of race, its
invisibility, limitations and the privileging of certain
racial identities in society. Films selected for the Social
Justice Film Series have one viewing and are generally
screened up to a half hour and followed by an engaged
discourse on the themes by the participants. To be respectful
of your time, it is our hope that this entire educational
program does not exceed ninety minutes.
