Visiting Associate Professor, Smith College, Program for the Study of Women and Gender
Opening Plenary Session—Thursday, November 4
What if we called people in, rather than called them out? Publicly shaming individuals with whom we disagree has become so easy, especially with the use of social media, which allows outrage to build incredibly quickly. Yet this practice does little to solve issues, educate people, and allow our society to progress.
