Market Square NewsBreaks
Have you been harassed on the street? What do you do? These are among the questions we’ll explore during a community conversation.
Increased public safety patrols, and a perception that the city center *may* be unsafe is a challenge faced by many major cities, especially post-COVID. Learn how you can get more involved in your local news ecosystem — and why your involvement is so important.
Stop by from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays Aug. 21 at the stage in Market Square as End Street Harassment Pittsburgh leader Dr. Britney Brinkman Ph.D. engages the community to continue the conversation around street harassment, recognize the importance of intervention, and continue to stride toward ending street harassment in Pittsburgh.
This series is presented by the Center for Media Innovation at Point Park University and the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership as part of events leading up to Newsapalooza.
GEA Conference 2024
From www.genderandeducation.com/conference
”The Gender and Education Association 2024 conference seeks to bring together education practitioners from all levels of education, activists, academics, students, community members and leaders, artists, researchers, lawmakers, policymakers, and media to explore the need for change for diversity and inclusion, positionality, and redressing inequalities through both an intersectionality and a gendered lens. Engaging in the debates of inclusion in education is important but pivotal are the pedagogies and ideologies that underpin how we include and reframe the systemic and structural barriers that led to culminative disadvantage. Given the global impact of the pandemic with women being hardest hit with career stability and access to education and services, a call to action is needed to go beyond a deficit model to that of universal inclusion – designing education and pedagogy to be inclusive and accessible to all regardless of ones identified intersections. Our conference theme, Be the Change, aims to be a catalyst for discussion and action to redress global and institution inequality through the power of education and knowledge.”
