2016 Shepard Symposium on Social Justice

As educators we often make mistakes that help us to bring social justice around us. The presenters come from different race, background and discipline. In this session they aim to share their narratives how they failed to recognize the issue of social justice and ultimate learning outcome from their wrong judgment. 

Diversity is critical in both university and professional settings in order to create rich dialogue and exchange. Exposure to diverse people, thinking, beliefs, and knowledge offers people opportunities for personal introspection. Furthering diverse exposure toward diverse engagement creates deeper understanding for people to navigate their world experience. Creating opportunity for challenging yet appealing engagement in diverse situations is critical in creating more open learning environments.
