BSU Community Conversations: Understanding Inequality and Social Justice Through an Intersectional Lens

Description

The Community Engagement Council presents our 4th in the Community Conversation Series. This webinar is open to public and delivered via Zoom: https://minnstate.zoom.us/j/96961358066 The call for inclusion recognizes that inequality is experienced in many forms and at different intensities throughout our lives. Inclusive practices require us to understand the complex link between social structures, such as education, health care, and the criminal justice system, to perpetuating social inequalities. The goal of inclusion challenges us to use an intersectional approach in developing pathways to social justice.This webinar will be delivered by Mary Romero.
