On Monday, Nov 2 at 6:30 PM, we will hold an online-only club meeting. Our speaker will be Ilana Redstone the creator of the YouTube series Beyond Bigots and Snowflakes (check out a few of these short clips before we meet!).
Dr Redstone is a professor of sociology at the University of Illinois and the founder of Diverse Perspectives Consulting. During this presentation, Ilana will lead a discussion about how and why we (fail to) communicate across political and ideological divides on sensitive and controversial issues, including those that touch race and identity.
To read more of Dr Redstone's work, visit her site Diverse Perspectives Consulting or her many Conversations on Diversity in Forbes Magazine.

SET UP
Web Meetings (or web conferences) differ from watching videos on line (YouTube, Facebook Live, Netflix, etc.) because our club members can interact and participate in the meeting. Thru the use of your camera and microphone on your desktop or smart device, people in the web meeting can see you (if you allow) via the camera on your desktop or smart device, and you can speak up in the meeting via the microphone on your desktop or smart device.
Our meetings will be conducted with Zoom. Zoom is free, and runs on desktops, laptops, tablets and smart phones. You can also dial in on an old school phone or cell phone if you just want to listen in on the meeting (and talk.)
