March 30: Beyond Binary
This is an introduction to the diversity of experience beyond sexual and gender binaries. It will cover the science beyond binaries and introduce people to the long history of gender and sexual diversity that existed in the world prior to the colonial era. It will highlight the stories of nonbinary children and adults, and discuss the growing number of children and youth who are authentically themselves, in spite of growing laws targeting them. (1st Principle - Inherent Worth and Dignity)
April 20: March 1942, Internment in Santa Fe
will discuss Japanese internment in Santa Fe and the treatment of Japanese Americans by the United States and neighboring nations. It will highlight that this camp was international, housing people from Mexico and Central America who detained people of Japanese descent at the urging of the United States government and then shipped them north to Santa Fe where they remained for the duration of the war. Going back to the Chinese Exclusion Act, it will focus on how differently immigrants arriving to Angel Island in California were treated compared to those arriving at Ellis Island in New York and how that impacted the decision for internment. (2nd Principle - Justice, Equity, and Compassion)
