Filmmaker Kendall Moore will present a screening of her documentary Can We Talk? Difficult Conversations with Underrepresented People of Color: Sense of Belonging and Obstacles to STEM Fields on Wednesday, April 10.
The film looks at various obstacles and impediments—structural, cultural, psychological, and institutional—that effectively limit the inclusion and participation of underrepresented people of color in STEM fields.
Following the screening, Moore, a professor in the departments of Journalism and Film Media at the University of Rhode Island, will facilitate a discussion with attendees and moderate a panel conversation. Panelists include Vassie Ware, PhD, professor of biological sciences; Dahlia Hylton, PhD, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs; and undergraduate students Princess Scott (civil engineering) and Rajan Jones (mechanical engineering).
The screening, which begins at 4:10 pm in Sinclair Auditorium, is a featured event of the 2019 Symposium on Teaching and Learning at Lehigh. For the full schedule, visit go.lehigh.edu/
