'Unpacking' personal privilege Feb. 23
February 14, 2011
My Favorite Lecture Series speaker Toni Zimmerman, Ph.D., contends that many of us haven't given any conscious thought to the idea of personal privilege in our society -- or to stereotypes that we or others hold. Don't miss this deeply thoughtful and insightful lecture by one of CSU's most accomplished teachers.
Wednesday, Feb. 23
4:15-5:30 p.m.
TILT Building, 801 Oval Drive
Room 221
Toni Schindler Zimmerman, Ph.D, will take participants on a journey exploring “What’s in Your Backpack?”
How aware are we of privilege?
In this experiential talk, Toni will guide us through "unpacking" the personal privilege that can often be invisible.
She will teach participants about first and second thinking as a way of increasing our awareness and our reactions to stereotypes.
Toni has published over 80 journal articles and chapters, many of which are on the topic of diversity and gender. Her enthusiastic and knowledgeable teaching style creates a learning environment where students can learn about themselves, each other, and the topic.
The Institute of Learning and Teaching's My Favorite Lecture series is an opportunity for CSU students to learn from the University's most distinguished professors. There will be a reception prior to the talk in the lobby outside of TILT 221.
