22nd Annual Diversity Conference: Creating Brave Spaces
Creating Brave Spaces is designed to promote engagement and provide a platform for respectful yet challenging dialogue. Brave spaces are where diversity of thought and opinion can coexist simultaneously within our community. The conference will focus on strategies to create, foster, and sustain brave spaces throughout SUNY Brockport.
Faculty, we strongly encourage you to incorporate assignments into your syllabi that align with the themes of the conference. Encouraging your students to attend the conference will facilitate further discussion and reflection within the classroom.
Proposal submission will be open starting on October 20, 2023, and can be submitted online.
