Race

This video explores race as a social construct, describes various forms of racism, and offers resources to help us better understand race, racism, and privilege.

Pronouns

In this video we discuss the importance of pronouns to everyone in our community, but especially how using peoples' preferred pronouns can make our community more inclusive for all.

Here we introduce some basic concepts associated with socioeconomic status, discuss meritocracy and why it's a myth, learn about cognitive bandwidth, and explore some of the intersections between poverty and various other social identities.
