Join keynote speaker Dr. Michael Cappello for a presentation and conversation about racial injustice When: Monday, March 12, 2018 Time: 4pm to 6pm Where: Student Centre Events Space Dr. Michael Cappello is a white settler living and working on Treaty 4 territory, in Regina Saskatchewan. He is an anti-oppressive educator in the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina. His work over the last 4 years has focused on teaching/learning against colonialism and teaching/learning into reconciliation between Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples Trent Central Student Association (TCSA) ťcsa hr Hello Trent students After receiving some questions regarding the title of this event, we have a short statement that should clarify the intentions of this event for anvone concerned This event's title is based on the "It's ok to be white" posters that circulated around various Canadian campuses in November of 2017 that sent racist and offensive messages to racialized student groups. These posters were placed strategically, outside the faculty of Native Studies at the U of A, and on the door of the Office of Indigenization at the U of R. These posters had a divisive and offensive message and were revealed to be tied to white nationalist agendas This talk, "It's Okay to be (Against) White(ness)" by Dr. Cappello is challenging the idea of "whiteness." Whiteness is an academic term for the ideologies that describe the practices, beliefs, habits and attitudes that enable the unequal distribution of power and privilege based on skin-colour. Whiteness, as an idea, is not about white people as much as the ways that white racialization is socially constructed as dominant, both historically and in the present moment. Understanding the construction of dominance is necessary in order to begin to dismantle those racialized hierarchies that continue to flourish within the systems of our society. Focusing on Whiteness allows us to move away from the narrow, individual framing of racism as personal ignorance, and begin to focus on the systemic ways that these ideas are made normal This normalization of Whiteness makes it difficult for students racialized as white to even notice these ideologies, 'being normal and centering the positions of the dominant group as normal requires making these processes invisible. At this event, we are challenging students to begin to notice understand and resist the powerful ways that Whiteness works](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/001/345/975/aa4.png "Againste Whiteness")
