MISSION STATMENT The mission of our Academic Inclusion Symposium is to provide students, staff, and faculty with an opportunity to present their experiences with marginalization on campus. Marginalization for our symposium is defined as excluded and existing outside the mainstream campus. These experiences of oppression such as racism, classism, gender, bias, sexism, ageism, nationalism, etc. Through voicing these experiences we hope to understand what is happening on campus, improve our classrooms, strengthen our community, and raise awareness of how to change current forms of marginalization within our campus. This symposium is a one and half day multidisciplinary arts expo and discussion series presenting and examining the experiences of marginalization (racism, classism, sexism, sexual identity discrimination, agism, othering etc.) on our campus. |
