Live Webinar with Dr. Terrell Morton
Wednesday, April 28, 2021
11:00 A.M. - 12:30 P.M.
The HSU Sponsored Programs Foundation will be hosting this Live System-Wide Webinar Presented by CSU Program for Education & Research in Biotechnology (CSUPERB) and the CSU Council on Ocean Affairs, Science & Technology (COAST). You can either register and view it on your own, or come participate with our staff via zoom.
Dr. Morton, Assistant Professor of Identity and Justice in STEM Education at the University of Missouri-Columbia, will provide participants with professional development in equity and justice through naming systemic racism and unpacking its implications on the lived experiences of racially minoritized people in STEM. Through the Critical Race Theory-informed approach, participants will receive tangible tools and resources that prompt awareness, understanding, and action towards racial equity and justice through individual-personal as well as individual-professional roles and responsibilities. This event is intended for university faculty, staff and administrators. The webinar will consist of a lecture followed by an optional interactive conversation in which participants will explore ways to implement principles from the lecture. We invite you to attend the lecture and participate in the conversation.
