We invite you to submit anonymous stories in which you or someone you know attempted to reach across an identity-related divide (e.g.,
race, gender, sexual orientation, disability) and were frustrated by the outcome. We are also interested in the emotions you experienced and
your perceptions of the other person’s emotional state or reaction. We are thinking about the different perceptual biases and emotional needs of the people in conversation: both those from marginalized identities (who may feel, for example, pressure to manage the emotions of people who hold privileged identities) and those who hold privileged identities (who may struggle to find words at all or to grapple with a sense of making mistakes and causing unintended injuries).

Your stories are invited, anonymously, at this [link]. Stories are invited from students, faculty, staff, and other members of the public. By submitting a story here, you are sharing it with the understanding that we may or may not bring this story into the discussion, anonymously, at this or future events, or in future writing.

In addition, the panelists will engage President Trump’s attempt to “cancel” Critical Race Theory and anti-racism initiatives.
