Real talk about the n-word and other oppressive language

"This is a keynote presentation on the legacy of the "N" word and other oppressive language. It will explore whether the words are too inextricably linked to a past where no degree of appropriating can rid them of a violent and marginalizing history. Followed by a panel discussion on how the histories of oppressive words impact classroom pedagogy, discussion, and share strategies for dealing with this complex topic."--UVM's website
