If you are unable to attend in person, we will be streaming the audio conversation for remote participants.
We would also like to invite you to consider attending the sessions that take place prior to these Rossier discussions. Below are the two sessions that form the center’s Engaging Equity LIVE! program. Participants will include faculty, staff and students from the entire USC community. You are welcome to attend either or both sessions from each of the two dates offered.
Engaging Equity LIVE!
Sponsored by the USC Race and Equity Center, Engaging Equity LIVE! is led by expert faculty from the USC Equity Institutes. Take a dive into some of the most pressing racial equity issues in higher education today and gain skills, tools and strategies to enhance and embolden your practice—whether you identify as a staff member, administrator, faculty member or student!
Understanding Campus Unrest and Responding to Student Protest: How do staff, administrators and faculty effectively and meaningfully engage with student protest? How do we reframe student activism and protests as productive learning processes? Join us for a hands-on talk by a national expert to grapple with case studies and build practical skills and knowledge!
Monday, Oct. 8, 2018: Vijay Pendakur, Ed.D.

Navigating Invisible Racism in the Classroom: What are the academic and psychological consequences of classroom microaggressions and stereotype threat?
