My digital ethnography intro about the ALANA Center. (Very) rough draft, having trouble with the footage I took and incorporating it.

///in unpacking the history of the ALANA Center as a discursive and dynamic space created for and by activism, this digital ethnography aims to address how race is experienced in institutional spaces. Not limited to Vassar and affinity spaces, although a large part of the conceptual basis, I aim to explore how ideas of colorblindness and policy inspired by colorblind ideals–not thinking about race in a critical way–perpetuates violence and colonial ideologies. Paying attention to race and creating policy and behaviors that invite open conversations around race are key.
