Registration for the 6th Annual Diversity Summit - Past. Present. Future. What will our legacy be? is open to all members of the GW Community! The Diversity Summit will take place virtually from November 11th - November 13th. We invite students, staff, faculty, senior leaders, and alumni to register by November 10th at 12:00pm EST. This year, we are grateful for the opportunity to include members of the broader community in our learning experience. We welcome you to invite colleagues, friends, and scholars outside of GW to register for $20 and join you in learning, challenging themselves, and being bold.
The full Diversity Summit schedule will be announced in the coming days, and we are eager to share some highlights with you now. On November 11th at 5:00pm EST, the George Washington University and Howard University Social Justice Debate teams will open the Diversity Summit by engaging in a debate on reparations as we reflect and learn from the past. On November 13th at 4:00pm EST, Dr. Jameta Barlow, Saray Smalls, and Tamara Washington will close the Diversity Summit with a focus on healing, wellness, and action forward as we move into the future. And finally! On November 12th at 6:00pm EST, we are honored to host a scholar, educator, and activist who coined the term intersectionality in 1989 and brought forward Critical Race Theory - Kimberlé Crenshaw! Kimberlé Crenshaw, Professor of Law at UCLA and Columbia Law School, is a leading authority in the area of Civil Rights, Black Feminist Theory, and race, racism, and the law. Kimberlé Crenshaw will challenge us in the present to take what we know from the past to inform how we move into the future.
