Here's another idea folk: Canada had its own civil rights movement--particularly in Toronto & Nova Scotia.  Nova Scotia has had a black population since the late 1700s when formerly enslaved blacks fought with the British during the American Revolutionary War (the British promised Blacks their freedom for fighting with them and Nova Scotia was a destination for many Blacks).  A great opportunity to tie in that global perspective during this important anniversary year.  Perhaps bringing in Afro-Canadian journalist.


Just another thought.

Subject: Survey

I just completed the AEJMC Conference survey that was sent out this morning and I want you encourage you to do likewise.  There is a question about suggestions for a workshop (preconference) and I think this provides us with an opportunity to have another Brown program or something related to diversity.  I have suggested diversity in the curriculum -- something that everyone seems to struggle with is how to infuse diversity throughout the curriculum.  I also included in my description inclusion in the classroom for students, faculty and administrators in jmc and in ACEJMC accredited programs.  I also suggested within this same realm--implicit bias training--that's (facilitate implicit bias training) something that I do and given some of the remarks and concerns that I have heard, it may be a great opportunity to explore this--certainly the timing is such that it may be useful.

Anyway, these are ideas.  You probably have your own--but just wanted to make sure that you had the opportunity to put your ideas forth in this survey.

With Kindness,
