Stephen F. Austin State University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs will host its first Brave Space Series of the fall semester beginning at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, in the Baker Pattillo Student Center Multimedia Room. The series’ discussion is titled “Stereotypes within Education Systems.”
“This Brave Space session will discuss the stereotypes within the education system relating to race, social class and dialect,” Vanessa Huynh, OMA student ambassador, said. “We also will talk about ways to overcome stereotypes within education systems.”
Huynh and Dia Conerly, OMA student ambassador, will cohost the event.
Each month, OMA’s Brave Space Series provides a forum for open and honest discussion concerning difficult topics.
The discussion is free and open to members of the SFA and Nacogdoches communities. For more information, visit sfasu.edu/multicultural/480.asp.
