Her presentation, “Taboos: Exploring Cultural & Social Prohibitions” will cover the historical and cultural reasons why taboos were created and enforced and how they contribute to oppression, power consolidation and the marginalization of people based on race, class, gender, sexuality and other differences. Participants will be encouraged to apply the conversation to their own experiences.
Her will also explore what it means to have a revolutionary identity and how people understand themselves in relation to movements for social change during a keynote presentation. The keynote, “I am We: Creating a Collective Revolutionary Identity” will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday Oct. 25, at 260 Graff Main Hall auditorium, followed by a reception in Port O’ Call, Cartwright Center.
Her presentations are free and open to the public.
Her, a second-generation Asian American of Hmong descent, began anti-racism work as a college student organizer. Today Her, of Missouri, is founder of Tseng Development Group, a training and consulting firm, which aims to provide skills and education to engage and include People of Color in movements for social change.
