Upcoming Just Talk Events
Just Talk: #MeToo
Lately there have been an overwhelming number of sexual misconduct allegations in the media. From Oprah's inspirational speech during the Grammy's to Larry Nassar's sentencing, the MeToo Movement is impossible to ignore. How does this MeToo Movement help us to navigate campus sexual assault in this time of uncertainty? Is #MeToo enough to change our culture? Is it a passing trend or is it here to stay? Join Respect on Campus and the Department of Communication for a conversation about the #MeToo Movement.
Just Talk After: Sold Out – Affordable Housing at Risk
The lack of affordable housing is a national issue impacting many working Americans. Join representatives from the City of Colorado Springs, nonprofit sector, and Housing & Building Association to explore how this issue impacts our community locally. Participants will engage in a meaningful conversation around this important issue.
Hosted by Citizens Project, Global Intercultural Research Center, and Just Talk.
Just Talk: Religious Freedom in America
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of religion in the free exercise clause, and freedom from religion in the establishment clause. Mike's book: Religious Freedom in America, 2018, ABC-CLIO, 350 pp. explores more than 200 years of U.S. history in how society grappled with those two concepts and how they influenced U.S. politics. It details all the U.S. Supreme Court watershed cases that defined the meaning and boundaries of the religious freedom debate.
Just Talk (After): Black Panther
Join us at the theater to watch Black Panther (tickets NOT included) and see what all the hype is about. After the movie, engage in a discussion lead by Dr. Christopher Bell about the film. Please RSVP through the link below if you are interested.
Just Talk After: Diversity Summit
We encourage all attendees to join us after the summit to continue discussion on topics covered and how they relate to UCCS. If you were not able to attend the summit or were not able to attend every session, you will have the opportunity to hear about what was covered and give your own input to the topic of Academic Freedom, Free Speech-Expression and the "Idea of the University."
