25th Annual Campus and Community Dialogue on Race (CDOR)

(Re)Defining Difference, Honoring Collective Resistance

October 23-27, 2023

The Campus & Community Dialogue on Race (CDOR) is an annual event at Cal Poly Humboldt. It invites students, staff, faculty, administrators, and community members to present and attend programs relating to racial justice and its intersections with all forms of oppression and resistance. Our aim is to create spaces and structures for reflection, analysis, dialogue, and positive strategies for change.

Students can earn a unit of credit in Critical Race, Gender, & Sexuality Studies "ES 317- Campus & Community Dialogue on Race". You don't need to be a CRGS student to enroll in this class, we welcome everyone! Check out our list of CDOR events below.

Celebrating the 25th year of CDOR, this year's Dialogue will take place from October 23rd (Mon) to October 27th (Fri). The vision of the Campus & Community Dialogue on Race is to achieve racial, social, and environmental justice. We're dedicated to promoting and facilitating change by engaging a diverse range of individuals and viewpoints. Our goal is to explore the impact of racism and its intersections with all forms of oppression.

Labor Acknowledgement

Today we recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built. Remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the US from the African Continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, and trafficked peoples who continue to serve within our labor force.
