Perspectives for Inclusion Lecture Series

“CALLING IN: A Practice for Navigating Difficult Conversations with Compassion”

Speaker

Loretta J. Ross will discuss techniques from her book, “Calling In: How to Start Making Change with Those You’d Rather Cancel,” a powerful approach that emphasizes common ground and empathy without losing sight of accountability. A highly sought-after speaker and strategist, she promotes human rights as a unifying framework, equipping leaders and institutions to foster deeper understanding across differences and create more resilient communities.

Ross recently served as a visiting professor at Yale School of Nursing and is currently an associate professor of the study of women and gender at Smith College. Recognitions of her expertise include a 2022 MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship and 2023 induction into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.

The organizing committee welcomes all members of the YSM community. For accessibility information, contact Michele Carpenter.

Space is limited; please RSVP. This event will be held in-person and on Zoom.
