������� faculty members Meghana Nayak and Kuhu Joshi will read from their new books of fiction and poetry and discuss creative writing as a social justice practice. Prof. Nayak’s book Tilt is an unflinching feminist novel about the devastating histories that haunt us. Dr. Nayak will do a reading from her book and discuss how it is impossible to speak about the most significant oppressive systems in the world without dealing with the destruction wrought on generations of families, kinship networks, and communities. She will also explore pathways for cultivating social justice via the lens of intergenerational trauma. Prof. Joshi will read from her new book of poetry, My Body Didn’t Come Before Me, where she recalls her struggle with spinal deformity, depression and shame that made it nearly impossible to feel at ease in her body. The poems in this collection explore desires that are sharply individual yet deeply universal. Prof. Joshi’s poetry delves into social justice themes including disability, intersectional feminism, and the experience of living with multiple, overlapping marginalized identities. The library has purchased a copy of each book and they will be available to borrow.

Location: NYC | 161 William St., 11th Floor
Questions? Contact Francine Falk-Ross at ffalkross@pace.edu

Themes of social justice are interwoven into children’s and adolescents’ literature in schools and in homes; however, there is a mix of positive and negative examples that teachers and adults must consider carefully. This has been an important issue in the news and in school staff discussions. Several professional organizations have contributed information related to schools’ decision to ban specific trade books from school curricula. Some libraries have made these decisions, as well. Some considerations have focused on the expertise of authors or the historical context of the cultural environment at the time of the publication. As teachers and educators in all content areas use literature to enhance learning and enjoyment, the hidden meanings in these trade books require faculty and staff to introduce approaches for critical literacy and close readings for specific selections.

Questions? Contact Lulu Moquete at lmoquete@pace.edu

“Don’t Touch My Hair” is an event that was first developed in the Fall of 2020 for �������’s first annual Social Justice Week. Annie Kepel-Palmer hosted the event during her term as VP of Student Government Association following the tragic events of Summer 2020 as a way to shed light on this important topic in a fun and engaging manner. Although the first year was 100% virtual, over 100 people joined the Zoom call throughout the evening, demonstrating the need for the event on campus. Since then, the event has been hosted by the Omicron Eta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. and quickly became a tradition that is upheld each year. The purpose of this event was to uplift the students of color on campus, and highlight the importance that Black hair has in the world today. Many of us have vast memories associated with our hair, which is something that we have in common as Black women in particular. This event was founded not only to be a safe space for the students to share these experiences, but also to educate those who may not share the same hair types as us.

Although some airports, bus terminals, and train stations recognize the Sunflower Lanyard initiative and authority figures are trained accordingly, it is just as important for higher education to widely recognize the initiative to support, respect, and help those in need where possible in a proper way. Come learn about the sunflower lanyard, what to do when you see it, how to help others appropriately or advocate for yourself, and contribute to overcoming the stigmas surrounding invisible disabilities.

Mental Health Effects of Banning DEI Offices on Campus
Wednesday, October 30, 2024 | 3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.
Location: NYC | Zannino Conference Room
Questions? Contact Richard Shadick at rshadick@pace.edu

The potential mental health effects of banning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices in colleges are significant, particularly for marginalized student populations. DEI offices provide crucial support, fostering a sense of belonging and community for students from diverse racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual backgrounds. Eliminating these offices may increase feelings of isolation, discrimination, and marginalization, especially for underrepresented students who rely on DEI resources for advocacy and mental health support. This loss of institutional backing can lead to heightened stress, anxiety, and depression as students may feel less safe or supported in their college environments. Furthermore, the absence of DEI initiatives can exacerbate issues like microaggressions, implicit bias, and social exclusion, contributing to a hostile campus climate. For some students, this could result in decreased academic performance, engagement, and retention, as mental health challenges directly impact academic success. The lack of diversity education and awareness programs also risks increasing division and misunderstanding among the broader student body, perpetuating stereotypes and cultural insensitivity. On a systemic level, banning DEI offices can undermine efforts to create equitable and inclusive learning environments, which are essential for the well-being of all students. The mental health toll on students, particularly those from marginalized communities, is likely to be significant, as these spaces often provide vital resources for navigating the challenges of discrimination and inequality in higher education.
