Myths can be innocuous … nobody ever got hurt believing in unicorns. But they can also be damaging, especially when they pertain to a subject as important as social justice. When people are dissuaded from embracing social justice concepts because of misinformation and misunderstanding, we all suffer.
Making things right is important … and on a college campus, there’s no better place from which to do so than the Student Affairs department. As the locus of some of our most important discussions regarding social justice, Student Affairs is where we need to begin to paint a true picture of the concept.
If you’re a Student Affairs professional interested in bringing clarity to social justice discussions on your campus, please join us for this important online seminar on February 2.
In The 10 Myths of Social Justice, Vernon A. Wall, M. A. – founding faculty member of the Social Justice Training Institute and Director of Educational Programs & Publications for the ACPA (American College Personnel Association – College Student Educators International) – will show that what people “know” about social justice is often inaccurate.
Cosponsored by the ACPA, this 90-minute video presentation will focus on myths including:
• The myth that social justice is too vague a concept to be useful.
• The myth that social justice is synonymous with “diversity” or “multiculturalism.”
• The myth that there’s no scholarship on social justice.
• The myth that students just aren’t that interested.
• The myth that social justice is a “liberal” cause irrelevant to conservatives.
• The myth that good intentions with respect to social justice lead to good outcomes.
• And many more.
Listen to a preview
Mr. Wall will then help you assess your own institution in terms of cultural competence and community-building. Find out whether your school is walking the walk, or just talking the talk.
It’s an eye-opening presentation that will help you fine-tune your understanding of social justice and, more important, help you advance a social justice agenda on your campus with confidence and assurance.
Includes a Q&A session
You’re invited to submit questions to Mr. Wall throughout this live, interactive presentation, for discussion during a special Q&A session. Share the challenges you face on your campus, fine-tune your understanding of the material, and hear the experiences of other attendees from colleges and universities nationwide. It’s an excellent opportunity for consultation and collaboration.
A great value … plus, a free invite for your colleagues
In these difficult economic times, it helps to have budget-stretchers like Magna Online Seminars. Priced far less than comparable off-campus events, they’re a smart choice when it comes to professional development. The fee for this presentation is just $304; better still, it applies per site, not per person – so you can invite colleagues from throughout your department and across your campus, and you won’t pay a penny more. Simply sign on from a facility large enough to accommodate your group.
Help your Student Affairs department lead the campaign for social justice on your campus. Don’t miss this important seminar!
