As one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, London is a great place to examine interlocking structures of difference and power and explore the workings of gender, race, and social class.
“Participating in Gender, Race, and Class in London was a transformative experience. The program broadened my cultural and global perspective, enhanced my cultural competency, and taught me how to critically analyze literature and everyday interactions through a social justice lens. It provided me with the education and skill set necessary to be a strong advocate for underrepresented and underserved populations.” – Jessica Hodgen

Dr. Luhui Whitebear on OPB's Think Out Loud
More and more organizations, companies and institutions are incorporating land acknowledgments into their work. These statements are intended to acknowledge and show respect to the Indigenous people who have lived on the land for millennia.
Luhui Whitebear, assistant professor in the Oregon State University School of Language, Culture, & Society, says land acknowledgments should be the beginning of an organization’s work with tribes, not the end. Whitebear helped to craft OSU’s land acknowledgment. We hear from her and Rachel Black Elk, junior instructor for the Indigenous Nations Studies program at Portland State University.
