Art exhibition at the UNH Museum of Art. Dinh Q. Lê was invited to the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies at the School of the Arts at Columbia University in 2011 to collaborate with Gregory Santos on an edition of prints inspired by the September 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement along with other concurrent international protest movements.

Supporting Trans* Students and Colleagues Workshop (April 19, 2022)
The Supporting Trans* Students and Colleagues workshop encourages participants to think more broadly and intersectionally about the identities and experiences of transgender, gender queer, gender fluid, gender non-conforming, gender variant, and non-binary identifying students and colleagues. We will engage in interactive activities, scenarios, and discussion around how to support trans* students and colleagues in and outside the classroom. Participants will develop an understanding of the bias incidents that transgender and gender non-conforming students and colleagues may experience, and the assumptions, perceptions, or stereotypes that people may make based on gender expression. As we consider specific scenarios of transphobic bias incidents that could and have happened at UNH, participants will discuss ways to respond, provide support to trans individuals, and be an ally.
Able-Bodied Privilege, Ableism and Disability Justice (March 31, 2022)
Learn about able-bodied privilege and disability justice with Joelle Ryan, Senior Lecturer, Women's and Gender Studies. This is a continuing education session open to all who have attended a past Social Justice Education program. The session will offer participants a chance to gain a deeper understanding of ableism through reflection and dialogue. We encourage all who wish to further their understanding of the systems impacting people experiencing disability and consider ways in addressing those, to attend this virtual workshop.
