Beyond the Typical: Tools for Social Justice
November 11th —13th - Kansas City, MO
3rd Annual Tools for Social Justice Conference
Sponsored by ACPA and the Commission for Social Justice Educators
Campus Host: Office of Multicultural Affairs, University of Kansas
Conference Overview:
As higher education professionals living in a global society, it is our collective responsibility to facilitate a living and learning environment for which we strive to develop understanding and respect for each other. We must also foster programs and services that shape policies and patterns of behavior and communication which promote the value of each individual as well as the diverse groups within our campus communities.
This annual conference will help you go "Beyond the Typical" tools and rhetoric when it comes to social justice education. The conference will provide you with best practices and resources that you can bring back to your home campus. With experts from our field, learn or refine ways to address the challenges of infusing social justice into your everyday activities and conversations. This group of insightful and experienced speakers will also share their wisdom and expertise. You will learn about cutting edge and innovative campus programs and will be provided resources to help you implement or reshape programs back on your home campus. Plus, and more importantly, we'll encourage you to learn from one another. We've designed an experience that goes beyond the "typical" conference scene to hit at the heart of the issues while also offering real-life tools to help you leverage social justice education on your campus. By educating ourselves - and our students - we can create a just global society where every person is valued.
Please join us for this third and exciting annual "Tools for Social Justice" conference to put your commitment to social justice education into action!

E-learning: Unveiling White Privilege
Instructor: Art Munin, DePaul University
Dates: November 26th - December 14th
Course Description:
Whiteness is a concept that must be defined historically. However, the power of White privilege has subverted history, perpetuating the perception that Whiteness does not exist nor is it privileged. Typically history is written by those who have won but this course will give voice to those who have been silenced. We will uncover how White privilege has evolved, how it is perpetuated and what we can do in our roles to unhinge its power.
