A Journey Into Hard Conversations: Beyond Diversity 101
TAHRA's Diversity Committee invites all to an interactive roundtable discussion designed to address the question: How do we move beyond Diversity/Inclusion 101? This session will include a conversation with Dr. Shelly Tochluk author of Witnessing Whiteness: The Need to Talk About Race and How To Do It , as well as an opportunity to explore lessons learned from local corporations that have taken their diversity initiatives to the next level.
Time/Date: Friday, March 5, 2010 ~ 8:30am to 10:00am
Location: YWCA Tulsa, 1910 S. Lewis Avenue, 2nd Floor
Dr. Shelly Tochluk's
experiences with UCLA's NCAA Division-1 All-American Track and Field
4x400 meter relay team and her elementary and middle school inner city teaching
experiences shaped her personal dedication to confront race issues.
An educator with a psychology
background, Dr. Tochluk spent 10 years as a researcher, counselor and teacher
in California's public schools. She received her Ph.D. in Depth
Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. She now trains teachers to work with
Los Angeles' diverse school population as Chair of the Education
Department at Mount St. Mary's College.
Dr. Tochluk authored Witnessing Whiteness: The Need to Talk About Race
and How to Do It, a book that helps people understand why race
remains an essential issue. Dr. Tochluk serves on the leadership team of
AWARE-LA (Alliance of White Anti-Racists Everywhere), a community of white
anti-racists.
