Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at SSU

Anti-Racism Initiatives and Programs

As Sonoma State University continues to address anti-racism, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is working collaboratively across departments to provide programs and initiatives that help engage our students, staff, and faculty in dialogue about anti-racism. The aim is to help further the discussion and engagement in our community and beyond. This list is a work in progress and will be updated as new programs and initiatives are developed.

Critical Dialogue Across Differences (CDAD)

  • Providing a space for students – of all backgrounds – to engage on the issues of difference and identity through a new two-unit class called “Critical Dialogue Across Differences.".

SSU-Wide Common Read

  • Developing an SSU-Wide common reading program on topics related to anti-Blackness, social justice, diversity, and inclusion.

Brave Space Virtual Forum 

  • A virtual forum for students, staff, and faculty to unapologetically discuss the realities of inequality and anti-Black racism, and how to address them.
