KEYNOTE ADDRESS:Calling In: Navigating Challenging Conversations and Cultivating Compassionate Connections. With the rise of cancel culture, we often find ourselves embroiled in disagreements rather than focusing on our shared goal of advocating for human rights. To build solidarity in our work and communities, we must adopt a strategy that unites us and embraces our differences. ‘Calling In’ offers a path to engage in transformative conversations, meeting people where they are while making people feel heard, respected, and cared for. In this presentation, activist, public intellectual, and scholar, Loretta Ross helps us understand the divisiveness of cancel culture and leads us through alternative ways of holding one another accountable while developing empathy and building meaningful connection.
