Professor conference will segregate 'white folx,' 'people of color'
(MORNING WATCH MSU) – An upcoming Michigan State University conference for educators will separate attendees between ‘White Folx’ and ‘People of Color.’
The annual Spring Conference on Teaching, Learning, and Student Success is adding ‘affinity group’ sessions, where attendees will be separated to “provide spaces for people to work within their own identity groups.”
“To advance racial equity, there is work for white people and people of color to do separately and together,” the invitation states. For white attendees, “an affinity group provides time and space to work explicitly and intentionally on understanding white culture and white privilege and to increase one’s critical analysis around these concepts.”
