The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse will feature panel discussions and presentations centered around narratives on topics including race, gender, sexuality, disability and immigration with lessons for university curricula and the broader community Tuesday through Thursday as it hosts Social Justice Week.
The Strength of Our Stories: Reviving Our Communities by Amplifying Lost Voices is the title for this year’s schedule of 26 events.
“So many people’s voices were lost, especially during COVID,” said Caleb Colon-Rivera, co-chair on the UW-L Diversity and Inclusion programming committee. “Now there’s this surge of reviving those communities, letting them speak out and giving them a platform to speak out.”
