I, Too, Am Auckland is a student-based initiative at The University of Auckland.
Our 2016 campaign, titled “CONVERSATIONS,” include videos which explore student experiences negotiating identity, everyday racism, privilege, and more, in a university context through conversational sessions.
Video participants provide a number of sometimes divergent approaches to addressing everyday racism at interpersonal and institutional levels. We hope that viewers follow the spirit of the videos by engaging in constructive dialogue, respectfully considering others’ viewpoints, reflecting on their own potential biases, and aiming to learn from one another.
Please remember that video participants have demonstrated courage by expressing their viewpoints on a public platform. Cyberbullying and other forms of insensitive criticism will not be tolerated. We are here to learn from each other and engage in positive conversations.
The ITAA team for this series consists of Julie Zhu, Arthur Ung, Jade Newton, Sarah McLean, David Mayeda, Chloe Manga, Todd Karehana, and George Greig.
