RESPETO Speaker Series webinar and workshop featuring Dr. Nolan Cabrera from the University of Arizona

Dr. Cabrera's seminar and workshop promise to be insightful and engaging, offering valuable perspectives on race, equity, and community building in higher education. We encourage you to attend both sessions. RSVP by March 6th Link in Bio!

About the RESPETO Seminar Series:
The series focuses on improving the quality of engineering education by addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

About Dr. Nolan Cabrera:
Dr. Nolan Cabrera is a nationally-recognized expert in the areas of racism/anti-racism on college campuses, Whiteness, and ethnic studies. He is currently a Full Professor in the Center for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Arizona, and was the only academic featured in the MTV documentary White People. His book, White Guys on Campus, is a deep exploration of White male racism, and occasional anti-racism, on college campuses.

--------------------

Seminar Title: Unapologetically Brown in a Time of Whitelash

Seminar Description: Dr. Cabrera will critically examine the reasons that Brown peoples are continually scapegoated in politically contentious times, consider different forms of resistance, while also centering Brown joy in the process. Joy is centrally important so that Brown people are not simply responding to racist attacks but also fostering community self-determination.

Seminar:
📆 Friday, February 7, 2025
⏰ 9:00am
📍 John Peace Library 4.04.22

--------------------

Workshop Title: Race is, Race Ain’t: Creating Racially-Engaged Campuses and Classrooms

Workshop description: This workshop encourages practitioners to critically engage race in their everyday practice. It accomplishes this by first providing an in-depth overview of what racism is and its relevance to educational space. It then engages audience members to both deconstruct how it is present in their practice while dialoging about how to structure racially-inclusive learning environments.

Filipino/Tagalog Language & Culture Programs!
‼️SIGN-UP IN THE LINKTREE IN OUR BIO‼️

Join us for a free four-week Filipino/Tagalog Language & Culture Class at UTSA, where we integrate language learning with traditional Filipino food and culture! This engaging, interactive class is perfect for anyone interested in the Filipino language and culture.

What to Expect:
✅ Basic conversational Filipino/Tagalog (Greetings, Food Terms, Shopping Phrases)
✅ Engaging cultural insights and traditions
✅ Fun, interactive activities with fellow language enthusiasts

Each week, you’ll build your Filipino/Tagalog vocabulary and conversation skills while exploring Filipino traditions and food. The program will culminate in a trip to a Filipino store, where you'll put your knowledge to the test by selecting ingredients to cook adobo or lumpia, some of the Philippines’ iconic dishes!
No prior Filipino/Tagalog experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and appetite for learning and good food!

There will be 2 programs for the Spring 2025 semester, and the content will be the same. The only difference is the final day where you will either cook adobo or lumpia. Slots are limited to 20 students per program, so be sure to fill this out in advance.
This program will be taught by Michael Mauricio, an experienced language teacher and a CLL PhD student at UTSA!

Let’s explore the Filipino language and culture one delicious dish at a time! 🍛✨

Find a partner to practice a language with!

Language Buddies offers an exciting opportunity of language exchange designed to help UTSA students/faculty improve their target language as effectively as possible and to make multicultural friends.

LXS's Language Exchange Coordinators (LEC) manages signups, pairing individuals to reach their language goals. Each pair can create a flexible meeting schedule, with check-ups based on their preferred level of accountability.

This is open opportunity for international students to practice and expand their English/Spanish and UTSA students/faculty to accelerate in their language learning journey. However, if you're simply seeking to help international students in English/Spanish, you're more than welcome to sign-up!

¡Encuentra a una persona para practicar un idioma!

Language Buddies ofrece una gran oportunidad para el intercambio de idiomas diseñada para ayudar a los estudiantes/facultad de UTSA a mejorar su idioma objetivo de la manera más efectiva posible y hacer amistades multiculturales.

Los coordinadores de Intercambio de Idiomas (LEC) de LXS maneja las inscripciones, formando pares de individuos con objetivos lingüísticos similares. Cada pareja puede crear un horario de reuniones flexible, que incluya un seguimiento basados en los criterios de rendición preferibles.

Ésta es una oportunidad abierta para estudiantes internacionales que deseen practicar y expander su inglés/español y para los estudiantes/facultad de UTSA que quieran acelerar su viaje lingüístico. Sin embargo, si lo que buscas es simplemente ayudar a estudiantes internacionales con el español/inglés, ¡eres más que bienvenido a participar!
