Mizzous Third Annual Social Justice Symposium Good Afternoon! I am excited to extend an invitation to students, campus partners and colleagues to present at Mizzou’s Third Annual Social Justice Symposium. If you or someone you know is interested in presenting (or attending) the symposium, please see below for general information and presenter and attendee registration details. As you can see, the deadline for presenting is fast approaching so get your ideas together and submit soon! Please pass on to student groups, faculty and staff that might be interested in presenting/attending! About the Social Justice Symposium: The Social Justice Symposium is a (less than) one day conference designed to create conversation around two very important aspects of social justice: understanding and activism. Attending this event will allow participants to focus on the core of social change; understanding how social justice topics affect multiple populations and how to be active in those topic discussions. This conference will focus on two different audiences: 1.) those that are interested in learning more about social justice topics and 2.) those that are ready to be more active and advocate for others. In conjunction with the theme, Beyond Words: A Focus on Understanding & Activism, the sessions presented will fall under two categories: a beginner’s category (focused on education and understanding) and an advanced category (focused on activism and advocacy). This event is FREE for any MU student, faculty, and staff member that wishes to submit a presentation or attend. The website for general symposium information is leadership.missouri.edu/sjs/. This event is scheduled to happen on Saturday, February 22nd from 11am to 5pm in the Leadership Auditorium, MU Student Center. The day’s schedule will include keynote speakers, multiple sessions with varying topics, and roundtable discussions. Topical areas covered may include race, culture, multi-culturalism, women’s empowerment, LGBTQ, the social construct of gender, disability, serving our veterans, and sustainability. Presenter Information: We are looking for students, faculty, and staff knowledgeable in all areas of social justice! If you or your organization are interested in presenting, please complete the presenter registration form by Friday, January 31st at 5pm. Presentations will last roughly 45 minutes and we will provide audio/visual accommodation as available. The presentations should be geared toward the undergraduate student population interested in social justice topics.
