Leadership and Community Organizing
In this hybrid presentation we were joined by presenters Danielle M. Conway (Dean and Donald J. Farage professor of law at Penn State Dickinson Law), Mele Tupou Vaitohi (Senior Lecture at Victoria University at Wellington, New Zealand and Visiting Faculty at Penn State Dickinson Law), TaWanda Hunter Stallworth ( The Antiracist Development Institute at Penn State Dickinson Law), and Serena Hermitt (The Antiracist Development Institute at Penn State Dickinson Law). The broader series offered by the Office of Inclusive Excellence--Civic Rights, Responsibilities, and Campus Life--focuses on questions of civic engagement broadly. This session focused specifically on how leadership definitions often present challenges to community organizing by thinking about what this might mean for community involvement that stems from antiracist practices and policies.
