Ongoing Events
Our Stories Matter Discussion Series
This series of discussions will consist of focused interdisciplinary evidence-based perspectives presented by at least two faculty and/or invited experts who will speak on and discuss specific topics related to fascism, white supremacy, current events (local to global), in the context of CI's values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We held the first of our speaker series, directly addressing aspects of white supremacy on Wednesday, February 07, 2018 in BRO 1320 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. We held them during the 2017-2018 AY the first Wednesday of every month to develop a regular community discussion of pressing and divisive issues. Other topics addressed the challenge and importance of technology and screen use, the polarization of the current political landscape, and those left out the #MeToo Movement (e.g., men who have been abused and the LGBTQ+ community).
Our Stories Matter will continue throughout the 2018-2019 AY Dates, Times, Locations TBD

Furthering the national conversation on cultural diversity, Latino historical trauma, the psychology of racism, and matters of social justice from a psychoanalytic perspective, Treviño will discuss his research and share practical ways to better interact with our students of immigrant backgrounds. Treviño's research focuses on the impact of immigration on individuals and entire communities across generations.
