Becoming an Equity Minded EducatorBecoming an Equity Minded Educator
Wednesday, October 13, 2021 - 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Equity refers not just to equal access, but to equal outcomes among all racial and ethnic student groups in institutions of higher education. This course is intended to prepare educators in adopting an equity minded approach to our daily practice. Using a systemic lens, educators will see and name equity gaps that perpetuate inequities in education and are invited to engage in practices designed to close equity gaps in learning. This session is designed to give participants a chance to really dive into the topic and engage in some meaningful self assessment and action plans.

Perpetrator Representation in Claude Lanzmann's Shoah and its OuttakesPerpetrator Representation in Claude Lanzmann's Shoah and its Outtakes
Monday, October 11, 2021 - 7:00 pm
In this moderated discussion, Professor Erin McGlothlin will explore part of Claude Lanzmann’s monumental documentary Shoah (1985), a nine- and-a-half-hour film that features interviews Lanzmann conducted with Holocaust survivors, witnesses, and perpetrators. McGlothlin will focus on one of Lanzmann’s most fascinating (and most troubling) interviews in Shoah, namely the director’s dialogue with Franz Suchomel, a former guard of the Treblinka killing center. Based on her recent research, McGlothlin will discuss not only the moments of the Suchomel interview that appear in Shoah, but also sections of the hundreds of hours of the film’s outtake footage that has been restored and digitized by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC and Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Israel. By carefully comparing the outtakes of Lanzmann’s interview with Suchomel with the sequences in Shoah that feature his testimony, McGlothlin is able to reconstruct in minute detail how the film director shaped the testimony of the apparently unrepentant and even gleeful former perpetrator whom we encounter in the finished film.
