w88 mobile Statement

The Core w88 mobile program at the University of Nevada, Reno unequivocally supports the Black Lives Matter movement and condemns the violent suppression of those exercising their First Amendment rights in pursuit of justice. The courses we offer highlight questions of just governance and across the Core w88 mobile program, we teach the voices who have defined civil disobedience through their battles against injustice, racism and colonialism. We see the protestors in the streets and the voices of our Black students who are calling for change and for justice for Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Breoanna Taylor and too many others. We support them, we are listening to them and we commit to doing the work of fighting racism and assisting in the struggle for social justice.

In addition to teaching the voices of those who have stood up to the violent suppression of humanity, Core w88 mobile courses also teach the history of racism and totalitarianism. Confronting these legacies is part of the ongoing work of the Core w88 mobile curriculum. Decades ago, the program was called Western Traditions. Since then, the program has worked to move away from Euro-centric worldviews. We still have work to do as a program to develop curriculum and pedagogy that is anti-racist, culturally competent and that tells a fuller story of the wide range of the human experience. As we work together, we take hope in the knowledge that the w88 mobile have long done the work of articulating values, amplifying marginalized voices and connecting communities.

We do not wish to merely rehearse platitudes or send “thoughts and prayers,” but rather to take action as a program and tap into the potential the humanities have to address real-world problems. We will uphold the University's mission, which states that the University of Nevada, Reno "recognizes and embraces the critical importance of w88 mobile" and "is committed to a culture of excellence, inclusion and accessibility." Please look to us for the following, share your ideas and hold us to account as we develop:

• Training in anti-racist pedagogy
• Ongoing curricular revision to include more diverse voices and histories in all CH w88 mobile
• w88 mobile that center on non-Western traditions, such as Indigenous cultures and knowledge
• Programming that emphasizes w88 mobile, equity, inclusion and anti-racism
• Policies to w88 mobile students, staff and faculty of color
