SUMMARY:DEIB Foundational Series | What's in a Name?
DESCRIPTION:This Foundational Series is designed for Ancients to engage in Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) conversation and practice. The MPS Alumnae Board’s DEIB Committee has undergone training with the Disruptive Equity Education Project on facilitating powerful\, intentional conversations to understand how we can collectively work to repair harm and ultimately act differently. \nThis workshop\, entitled “What’s in a Name?\,” will create space for Ancients to examine conscious and unconscious biases as individuals and as members of the MPS sisterhood and eventually work collectively to identify tools not just for increasing inclusion and belonging\, but moving us closer to true equity in our school and our Ancient community. \nThese sessions will not be recorded. \nREGISTER BELOW

SUMMARY:Ancient Book Club Discussion | "An Indian Among Los Indigenas: A Native Travel Memoir" by Ursula Pike: Session 2
DESCRIPTION:“A gripping\, witty memoir about indigeneity\, travel\, and colonialism” \nSummary:\n“When she was twenty-five\, Ursula Pike boarded a plane to Bolivia and began her term of service in the Peace Corps. A member of the Karuk Tribe\, Pike sought to make meaningful connections with Indigenous people halfway around the world. But she arrived in La Paz with trepidation as well as excitement\, ‘knowing I followed in the footsteps of Western colonizers and missionaries who had also claimed they were there to help.’ In the following two years\, as a series of dramatic episodes brought that tension to boiling point\, she began to ask: what does it mean to have experienced the effects of colonialism firsthand\, and yet to risk becoming a colonizing force in turn?\n \nAn Indian among los Indígenas\, is a sharp\, honest\, and unnerving examination of the shadows that colonial history casts over even the most well-intentioned attempts at cross-cultural aid. It is also the debut of an exceptionally astute writer with a mastery of deadpan wit.” \nREGISTER BELOW

SUMMARY:DEIB Committee Foundational Series | Session 1
DESCRIPTION:Part 1 of this Foundational Series is designed for Ancients to engage in Diversity\, Equity\, Belonging and Inclusion (DEBI) conversation and practice. The MPS Alumnae Board’s DEIB Committee has undergone training with the Disruptive Equity Education Project on facilitating powerful\, intentional conversations to understand how we can collectively work to repair harm and ultimately act differently. \nThe ultimate goal will be to create space for Ancients to examine conscious and unconscious biases as individuals and as members of the MPS sisterhood\, and eventually work collectively to identify tools not just for increasing inclusion and belonging\, but moving us closer to true equity at School and in our Ancient community. \nSpace is limited. \nREGISTER BELOW
