White Privilege Meets Interracial Adoption
Comments and Conversation Fern Johnson & Marlene Fine
Date: Tuesday April 3, 2014
Time: 4pm
Venue: Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons
Professors Fern Johnson (English) and Marlene Fine (Communications, Simmons College) will talk about their perspectives on white privilege as the white parents of two adopted African American children. They are the authors of The Interracial Adoption Option: Creating a Family Across Race (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2013). The book provides a beginning point for the white person who is contemplating or already has adopted a child of another race, but it is also a commentary on how blinded white persons — even those who have studied race — can be to the everyday realities of race.

Don’t Bite Your Tongue Dinners
Date: Tuesday April 8, 2014
Time: 5:30 pm
Venue: Blackstone Hall
Many of us were told from a young age that we should not discuss politics, sex, religion, race, or any potentially contentious issue at the dinner table. The Don’t Bite Your Tongue dinners break this convention — freeing us from “safe” observations and the fear of offending others. On the second Tuesday of each month, we will gather in different residence halls for dinner and dialogue on difficult topics with the intention of listening and learning from one another in ways that challenge our underlying assumptions about ourselves and others. Dinner will be provided. Students, staff and faculty need only bring themselves and a willingness to be open to anything! If you have questions or suggestions for topics, please contact Barbara Bigelow. Co-sponsored by the Difficult Dialogues Initiative, the Dean of Students Office, and Residential Life and Housing.
