Building Bridges Across Difference: A Dialogue for Every Day

Session 1: Exploring Socialization and Liberation

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 · 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
From childhood to the workplace, we are influenced by powerful cultural and institutional messages that shape our understanding of who we are and how we relate to others. In this session, we’ll engage the Cycles of Socialization and Liberation to examine how these messages shape our perspectives and behaviors. Participants will reflect on their own socialization and explore ways to move toward more equitable and liberatory practices.

This is a "lunch and learn" event, meaning we encourage you to enjoy your lunch during the meeting!

This series is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

An image with the title "BUILDING BRIDGES ACROSS DIFFERENCE: A DIALOGUE FOR EVERY DAY SERIES". Below the title are three separate photos showing groups of people engaged in conversation. The first photo shows three men, two of whom are Black and one of whom is white, sitting in a circle and talking. The second photo shows three women of different ethnicities sitting and talking. The third photo shows a man and a woman, one of whom appears to be a Black man and the other a hijabi woman, sitting at a table with other people in what looks like a meeting or a classroom. At the bottom left of the image is the UMBC logo. To the right of the logo, there is text that says, "Division of Institutional Equity" and below that, "CENTER FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE DIALOGUE".
