Conference
Author: Aja Holmes (Iowa State University)
The George Washington Carver scholarship recipients created presentations of -ism’s: ableism, ageism, classism, ethnocentrism, genderism, heterosexism, racism and sexism. They described with their words how the particular “ism” is seen on the Iowa State campus, in the Ames community, and across the nation. During this presentation the audience will be able to explore, learn and ask questions regarding the poster or powerpoint expressions that each student completed. Their goal is to pursue an equity for populations, who are, currently and historically, marginalized, exploited, disempowered, or violated based on their social groups.
