VOTE. #ElectionDay

Check out and share baylor.edu/diversity/cult… for this information and more!

Every year around Halloween, we share information about cultural appropriation and encourage our community to think through their decisions regarding costumes. A holiday is not an excuse to perpetuate cultural stereotypes. #MyCultureIsNOTaCostume

Baylor community, think about these questions and send us any responses or thoughts you have. You can direct message us or email Maggie_M_Griffin@baylor.edu. Thank you!

After conversation and viewing pieces from the exhibit, attendees reflected on these questions:

A few pictures from our event today:

Here are the NEW DETAILS for this event! We are currently looking for artistic and creative expressions related to this topic. We hope to display these works as part of an exhibit at this event. Want more information? Have a submission? Email Maggie_M_Griffin@baylor.edu

This event has been postponed. More details will be announced as we work to plan this event! If you'd like to be involved in any way, send us a message on Twitter!

Stay tuned! We are working on the details of our upcoming panel - we may be postponing - in that case, we'll send an update here first!

Join us next Thursday to discuss police brutality with other members of the Baylor community.

A wonderful read that brings to mind many of the words from our panelists on Tuesday. Ending sexual assault, harassment, and rape is an issue that involved EVERYONE. lithub.com/rebecca-solnit…

Phew! If you weren't able to make it, we hope you enjoy our tweets summarizing remarks from today's panel. Our panelists were incredible and we feel so lucky to have them as part of our Baylor community.

At the end of our panel and small group discussion, we left the audience with this quote from former First Lady @MichelleObama: “The measure of any society is how it treats its women and girls.”

This community anger about the massive problem of sexual assault is a good, healthy anger of deeply concerned individuals ready to have a demanding, active role in society.

Stereotypically, when men get angry, they break things and hurt people. Stereotypically, when women get angry they're called hysterical and maniacal OR women’s anger is often delegitimized.
