Student Leadership and Service (SLS)

For LC students, staff, and faculty. A weekly discussion group for staff, faculty, and students from all three campuses focusing on different On Being podcasts (onbeing.org) from primarily Black voices.

Listen to an On Being podcast hosted by Krista Tippett beforehand, and then gather to discuss what rises up around the virtual dinner table. 

Sept 30: Robin DiAngelo and Resmaa Menakem, “In Conversation”

“The show we released with Minneapolis trauma specialist Resmaa Menakem in the weeks after George Floyd’s killing has touched listeners, and galvanized searching, with an extraordinary reach. So I said yes when he proposed that he join me in conversation again, this time together with Robin DiAngelo. She is perhaps the foremost voice in our civilizational grappling with whiteness; her book, White Fragility, is one of the most widely read books in the world right now. Hearing the two of them together is electric — the deepest of dives into the calling of our lifetimes.” -Tippett

For LC students, staff, and faculty. An intersectional space for BIPOC, white, multiracial, spiritual, religious, and secular people to engage in honest, authentic, vulnerable conversation. Listen to an On Being podcast hosted by Krista Tippett beforehand, and then gather to discuss what rises up over a virtual dinner. 

Oct. 7: Rev. angel Kyodo williams “The World is our Field of Practice”
“angel Kyodo williams is one of our wisest voices on social evolution and the spiritual aspect of social healing. And for those of us who are not monastics, she says, the world is our field of practice. She’s an esteemed Zen priest and the second Black woman recognized as a teacher in the Japanese Zen lineage. To sink into conversation with her is to imagine and experience a transformative potential of this moment towards human wholeness.” - Tippett

All LC students are invited for this student-led weekly gathering for people interested in exploring the intersection of spiritual/religious/secular identities and queer and trans/non-binary identities. Each week will be a slightly different focus, ranging from reflecting on readings, watching short videos, listening to guest speakers, and engaging in various spiritual practices. We also like to have fun!
Please email spiritualqueery@lclark.edu to sign up for the listserv and get the Zoom link. Also let the leaders know via email if you need accommodations for Zoom. Thanks!

Oct. 14, Claudia Rankine “How Can I Say This So We Can Stay in This Car Together?”
“The poet, essayist, and playwright Claudia Rankine says every conversation about race doesn’t need to be about racism. But she says all of us — and especially white people — need to find a way to talk about it, even when it gets uncomfortable. Her bestselling book, Citizen: An American Lyric, catalogued the painful daily experiences of lived racism for people of color. Claudia models how it’s possible to bring that reality into the open — not to fight, but to draw closer. And she shows how we can do this with everyone, from our intimate friends to strangers on airplanes.” - Tippett
