I was watching Ellen today on TV and one of her guest stars was Colin Farrell. Normally this wouldn’t be any more interesting than any other celebrity, except that he was there not only to promote his latest film but also his involvement with an organization called BeLonG To. BeLonG To is a group that aims to support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth in Ireland. Mr Farrell recently made a statement to the group regarding bullying and homophobia as it relates very strongly to his brother Eamon who is gay and suffered through bullying and abuse in his childhood.
Today was the first ‘last seminar’ of the four that I’ve been taking this semester at the university. They call this one Professional Seminar, or Prosem for short. The goal of our particular prosem was to examine diversity and how it affects our ability to create inclusive classrooms for our students. To accomplish this, we’ve conducted a cultural fair and participated in group presentations on readings from the book, Talking About Identity: Encounters in Race, Ethnicity, and Language by Carl E. James and Adrienne Shadd.
The retrospective continues after the jump…
