Jane Elliott, internationally known teacher, lecturer, diversity trainer, and recipient of the National Mental Health Association Award for Excellence in Education, exposes prejudice and bigotry for what it is, an irrational class system based upon purely arbitrary factors. And if you think this does not apply to you. . . you are in for a rude awakening.
On Wednesday, September 22, Jane Elliot (know for her "Blue eyes, brown eyes" work) will conduct a three hour learning session for teacher education students and faculty. The event will run from 5 to 8 p.m., and be held in SEC 244/245. While this event is primarily intended for teacher education students, it will be open to all UNI students and faculty. Ms. Elliot recommends that participants read "Race and Reality" by Guy P. Harrison prior to the event.
