CAN WE ALL GET ALONG?
A CONVERSATION ABOUT RACE, GENDER, AND CLASS IN AMERICA TODAY. Danni Minteer, M.Ed, a member of staff at Highpoint Resources, is offering a reading and discussion group for adults who would like to develop a better understanding of race, gender, and class and their impact on our lives. We will analyze how we identify and perceive "the Other" (people who we precieve to be different than we are), and how this consciousness is in turn translated into personal behavior and public policy. At the crossroads of the humanities and the social sciences, culture and politics, we will discuss our life experience, insights, present concerns, and hopes for the future. With a state proposition Affirmitive Action I-200 on the fall ballot to determine the future of affirmative action in Washington, this group has particular relevance today. 2Paperback books required. $3 fee for materials payable to the instructor.
