Queer Liberation — Serena Sebring, Southerners On New Ground (SONG)
April 11, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
FREEBeginning January 21, during the week of campus-wide activities in honor of Dr. King, the Stone Center will launch a series of ongoing student-led conversations to explore current social justice issues and the persons at the forefront of these movements. Each of these Crucial Discussion sessions–to occur monthly throughout the spring semester–will feature noted community activists who champion a specific cause and seek to effect lasting and meaningful social and institutional change through action and engagement.
These forums will provide an opportunity for student participants to critically explore social justice issues and learn from the ideas, experience and passion of seasoned community leaders and activists how to drive change through committed involvement and service.
