Community Dialogues, Code-Switching

November 20, 9:00am - 10:15am
Mānoa Campus, Academic Resource Center, Room 114

Community Dialogues, Code-Switching ----------------- “Code-Switching” with José Barzola -------------- Session: Code-switching is a strategy that people use to alter their self-presentation in different contexts and situations. Often, the way people adjust how they present themselves is driven by societal expectations and norms. To align with the norms of different contexts, people may switch out of many identities, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, socioeconomic status, and disability status. Perhaps you shift from casual banter with friends to adopting a more formal tone in professional settings. ---------- Speaker: José Barzola has a passion for creating social change through nonviolence, nurturing relationships that transcend cultural barriers, and focusing on issues of diversity, inclusion, and equity. He is a highly organized higher education administrator with over 20 years of experience and success in administration, student development within academic and student affairs. José has also been an affiliate faculty teaching courses on peace and conflict transformation, a professional mediator and facilitator for over 10 years both in New York and Hawaii. José is currently the Conflict and Peace Specialist at the Office of the Provost and Affiliate Faculty at the Matsunaga Institute for Peace at the University of Hawai'i at ԴDz. --- Sponsored by the Conflict and Peace Specialist
