Reflections & Conversations

Reflections: Where Do We Go From Here

Can knowing the past guide us to the future? Join us as we speak with four area residents about their thoughts on race. They will share their personal experiences, thoughts on current divisions, and the path moving forward. Guests for this series include Rev. Larry Sivis, Bernice Henry, Dr. Salome Nnoromele, and Rev. Margaret Tyson.

For more information on the Reflections series please contact: Robert Pleasant or Dr. Teresa McKenzie.

Campus Conversations

The events of the past few months have placed a spotlight on the history of racism in American culture.  The Ohio University Southern Council on Diversity and Inclusion will initiate "Campus Conversations," a monthly series of virtual conversations that will be presented throughout the academic year. Campus Conversations will serve as a catalyst for change by bringing people together to learn, share experiences, ask questions, and inspire collective action.  The series will be addressing race from different perspectives.  Through open, honest and civil dialogue we can hear and learn from one another.  We don’t expect to resolve this crisis in one hour, but together, we can begin paving a path forward.

When Thoughts and Prayers Are Not Enough

During this Campus Conversation, The Rt. Rev. W. Michie Klusmeyer ("Bishop Mike") will share his experiences and lead us through his Seven Steps to End Racism. He currently serves as the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia.
