Really fascinating Faculty Friday post today by Quinn Russel Brown on a class being tought by Anu Taranath, a senior lecturer in Compartive History of Ideas and English about how to talk about power and privilege on campuses. Getting comfortable about talking about uncomfortable things is a key element of the course and Taranath has multiple ways in which she facilitates the conversation. It certainly fits into the UW's new Race & Equity Initiative that is already brining students, faculty, and staff together in new ways to discuss issues of inclusion and social justice.
