This blog was created through the efforts of the Office of Diversity Education of DePaul University. Our office seeks to develop one's holistic understanding and internalization of diversity using dialogue as a tool for the development of critical consciousness, empowerment, and allyship.
So with each post, we try to shed some light on issues and concepts of diversity.

Quote of the Day: “I’m not transgender. I. Am. A. Boy,” says 5-year-old Tyler, who born a girl  was designated female at birth. He first insisted he was a boy at the age of 2, and eventually was diagnosed with gender identity disorder.
Now, his parents allow him to present himself as a boy, and Tyler’s mom doesn’t think he’s going through a phase (though doctors say many children with gender identity disorder eventually switch back to their biological gender). “I just want my child to be happy,” she says.
Don’t miss the video and pic gallery that help tell Tyler’s story.

Racial disparity in the coverage of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.

Yup. In some shameless self-promotion, I did a research paper on Haiti and media portrayal which references some pieces of scholarly research on this area…. http://dspace.udel.edu:8080/dspace/bitstream/handle/19716/5718/Final%20Project%2054%20.pdf?sequence=1 also if you’re interested, UNiversity of Delaware’s Disaster Research Center is a great resource for this area… http://www.udel.edu/DRC/E.L.%20Quarantelli%20Resource%20Collection/index.html
