History, Hate, and Hope

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

As the call for proposals indicates, racism is a chronically obstinate problem, perpetuating exploitation, marginalization, oppression, and conflict throughout the world. In this interactive session, all participants will be given a chance to explore some of the historic underlying roots of racism in this country and beyond, including the early days of religious wars, crusades, the Papal Bulls and Doctrine of Discovery and so forth. They will understand how these early ideologies have persisted until the 21st Century and how they still result in hate and violence today. Finally, participants will focus on mindsets, strategies, and discursive possibilities that may bring hope and healing to our educational institutions and our world.
