[PT2021] Social Justice Hour

[Eubanks, Bridget R]

Good afternoon,

I hope this finds you all safe and healthy. The last few weeks have been incredibly challenging due to the ongoing pandemic and the continuous murders and excessive force in our country, primarily against minority groups and the Black community. In an effort to create something productive out of all this negativity, we would like to invite you to a "lunch-and-learn" of sorts-a Social Justice Hour, if you will.

Four of our students and one of our faculty members (D'jsha, Jalecia, Monique, and Obed, along with Dr. C) have offered their time and experiences to hold an open dialogue to include Q&As and discussions about race, differences, and perspectives. As a white woman of privilege, I acknowledge that discussions about race and racism are difficult and uncomfortable-as they should be-but absolutely necessary to create change. We hope people see this as an opportunity to learn, grow, and gain awareness in this space in our personal lives and practice as PTs.

Our hope is that this will be an ongoing occurrence that will progress and expand to include other social justice issues, not those surrounding race alone. For several reasons, we have decided to open this opportunity to only students for our first session. In the future, we hope for these sessions to be on campus, in-person, and open to students, faculty, and others within our department and/or college.

In order to foster a safer environment for learning, please find below a link to a Google Doc where you can anonymously submit questions or talking points to be addressed during our session. Additionally, this session will only include members of the class of 2021 and two faculty facilitators, Dr. C and Dr. Eubanks. WebEx link to follow this email. The first of these events will take place on Wednesday, July 1, from 11am-12pm. This is completely optional, but we hope to see you there.

Dr. Eubanks, Dr. C, D'jsha, Jalecia, Monique, & Obed
