Hear Our Heels: Becoming Visible in the Academy (2) - The Importance of 'unlearning'
Dr. Mack stressed the importance of giving students the opportunity to unlearn myths in order to gain new insight. Similarly, we must allow academics the space to unlearn preconceived notions about women of color in order to progress.
Plenary I: Speaker: Dr. Kelly Mack
Dr. Mack will focus on the societal pressures that disproportionately impact women of color (wealth gap, health disparities, etc.) How does this play out in the academy? Why is there a need for urgency?

EXCELLENT!! I have struggled with having African American Women who have taken on the opportunity to provide such good resources and lessons. I am so impressed with the conference thus far and this is just the beginning!!
