Quintessential Diversity Roundtable (Monthly)
“Quintessential Diversity Roundtable” is a humanities project that is intended to emphasize gender, race, sexuality, and ethnicity. It seeks to promote public dialogue on human rights that are non-negotiable in the call for human dignity. The project is further intended to examine the ways in which religious, historical, literary, and philosophical texts have been used to invent laws and perpetuate mores that oppressed and denied Americans’ access to basic human rights and an acceptable quality of life
