Calling In: A Conversation with Loretta J. Ross

Description

Join Female Leaders of Color and the Multicultural Leadership Council for "Calling In: A Conversation with Loretta J. Ross," a discussion of the toxic aspects of "call-out" culture and how "calling in" may be the better way to advance social justice. An activist, professor, and public intellectual, Ross argues against publicly shaming or silencing someone who has said or done something we consider unacceptable. Instead, she says, we should try "calling in"—opening a civil, if perhaps difficult, conversation that can lead to increased understanding and empathy.

Ross's presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A session moderated by student leaders from Female Leaders of Color and the Multicultural Leadership Council at Johns Hopkins.

Presented in partnership with Female Leaders of Color and the Multicultural Leadership Council, with promotional support by the Foreign Affairs Symposium, the event is co-sponsored by the Provost's Office and the Office of the Dean of Student Life.
