UAA is one of thirteen partners joining together to serve as the Anchorage Community Diversity Project. ACDP is focusing on creating opportunities for meaningful and authentic dialogue about race and diversity to the Anchorage Community. Phase one of the project partnership featured guest speaker, Dr. Martin Brokenleg, Director Professor of First Nations Theology & Ministry, Vancouver School of Theology. For 30 years Dr. Brokenleg was professor of Native American studies at Augustana College of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
On May 26, 2009 a Community Dialogue on Race & Diversity was held at the Wendy Williamson Auditorium. A video stream of the evening event is accessible at mms://wm.uaa.alaska.edu/anjmc2/dr_brokenleg_speech.wmv. We invite you to listen to Dr. Brokenleg discuss Anchorage as a global city, similarities individuals share, relationship building, and the “Circle of Courage” model.
