St. Mary’s Day is a campus-wide event focusing on \u201ccivil discourse\u201d and its potential impact on our campus.<\/p>\n

The impact of the 2016 election on our campus climate showed us that we have work to do around cultivating an environment where all students, faculty, and staff feel empowered to engage across lines of ideological and experiential differences. As the November 2020 election draws near, we think it is important that we make time to calibrate as a community through a day of reflection on principles and practices that, if taken up in real and consistent ways, will help us navigate the coming months and beyond.<\/p>\n

In order to promote broad engagement from students, faculty, and staff, we are cancelling classes and suspending all non-essential operations as means to facilitate student, staff, and faculty participation in the day as a \u201cclass of the whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Our goals for the day:<\/h3>\n
    \n

    1. Develop a framework for understanding \u201ccivility\u201d on our campus.<\/h4>\n

    As a concept and as a set of practices, \u201ccivility\u201d can be quite fraught, so grappling with the challenges and utility of \u201ccivility\u201d is a difficult but important starting point. In order to shape and facilitate this conversation, we\u2019ve invited Dr. Ashley Woodson (she\/her\/hers) to speak. Dr. Woodson is the William and Jean Stauffer Faculty Fellow of Education at the University of Missouri \u2013 Columbia, and her areas of expertise include citizenship and civic engagement. The focus of her time with us will be around what an inclusive framework for deep civility on college campuses looks like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    2. Cultivate an understanding of the ways in which implicit and explicit forms of bias challenge community building and to provide tools and practices for identifying and interrupting bias-incidents.<\/h4>\n

    For this goal we have invited guest speaker Lena Tenney (they\/them\/theirs) who is the Coordinator of Public Engagement for the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at The Ohio State University. At the Kirwan Institute, Mx Tenney directs the facilitation portfolio of the Race and Cognition Program, which includes traveling around the nation to facilitate trainings on implicit bias and being an active bystander.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    3. Discuss critical literacy and the responsibility that we have to one another to be as thoughtful and informed in our engagements as possible.<\/h4>\n

    The final goal will be addressed by Ms. Andrea Quijada (she\/her\/hers), a nationally recognized media literacy expert and consultant, providing services to organizations and schools on a range of media literacy and media justice topics. One of her most recent projects was a curriculum for Native Public Media on journalism and the First Amendment at Standing Rock.\u00a0 She is the former executive director of Media Literacy Project (MLP) where she spent 13 years developing media literacy curriculum and providing media literacy trainings to various audiences across the United States and in countries such as Britain, Uganda, Germany, and Mexico.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
