Persuasion to Power Series: Know Your Audience
Persuasion to Power Series: Know Your Audience
with Loretta Ross Everyone we speak to, whether neighbor, friend, community member, or family, carries a slightly different set of values and expectations. In organizing conversations, it’s up to us to listen well and make strategic, thoughtful assessments of how to move our goals forward by taking into account the other person’s responses. Join us and veteran activist Loretta Ross (featured in The Persuaders!) for a conversation on how to assess and adjust our communication approaches based on the person we’re talking to and how closely they already align with our goals.

Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future
Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future
Join the Native American and Indigenous Studies Program for a talk with Patty Krawec, author of Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future, on Thursday, March 21 from 12:30-2pm in Dunn Conference Suite, Room A, Bridgewater State University. “Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps readers see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec
