The next Ethics Table “come-as-you-are” lunch will be held Wednesday, Nov. 9, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Thwing Center’s Cleveland Room.
The discussion, titled “Confronting the ‘Brown Bag Test,’” will give Ethics Table participants the chance to learn and talk about the history of the “brown bag test” in African-American Greek Life organizations and in social psychological experiments.
Motivated by a call from the community to consider the history of colorist connotations on campus in the spirit of Diversity 360, attendees will learn about how concepts of white privilege were internalized within oppressed communities.
A practical goal of this meeting also is to collectively name the kind of lunches held at the Ethics Table and to discuss the ethics of collective speech that names communal institutions.
