Multicultural Education Week happens every semester at Salve Regina, but this fall it feels particularly important as the country wrestles with so many difficult topics like racism versus anti-racism and what it means to be a country that truly celebrates diversity and inclusion in all of its forms.

For the fall 2020, Multicultural Education Week has an amazing lineup of speakers and events to help students, faculty and staff process these issues in an engaging and personal manner, so please check them out. All events are held in person, as well as virtually via WebEx to ensure that anyone can attend.

A list of all the events are included below:

Multicultural and Multilingual Mass
Sunday, Oct. 25, 7-8 p.m.
Our Lady of Mercy Chapel

To introduce Multicultural Education Week this year, members of the Salve Regina community are invited to join a Multicultural and Multi-language Mass at Our Lady of Mercy Chapel where there will be music, reading and chants.

Guest Speaker Payton Head: Intentionally Intersectional Leadership
Wednesday, Oct. 28, 7-8 p.m.
Bazarsky Lecture Hall

As a leader who represented thousands of diverse people from the U.S. and abroad, Payton Head had to find the unique balance between advocating for the well-being of the black community while advocating for students of all different backgrounds. He discusses inclusive leadership strategies that focus on being intentionally intersectional in the representation of communities different from his own. Head also talks about his own experiences navigating white LGBTQ spaces as a black man and black liberation spaces as someone with a queer identity.

The Tapestry of American History Through Native Eyes: An Alternative Perspective
Thursday, Oct. 29, 7-9 p.m.
Little Bazarsky

A lecture accompanied by a PowerPoint slideshow that challenges the commonly held misconceptions found in American history books. From Christopher Columbus to George Washington, Armstrong Custer to Andrew Jackson, colonization is an untold/mis-told story that needs to be reframed, because the Indigenous Narrative is a story of struggle and survival.

Bobby González is a nationally known multicultural motivational speaker. Born and raised in the South Bronx, New York City, he grew up in a bicultural environment. Bobby draws on his Native American (Taino) and Latino (Puerto Rican) roots to offer a unique repertoire of discourses, readings and performances that celebrates his indigenous heritage.
