There are two things “happening” in October …
- Our traditional “Overdue” zoom gathering is happening on Thursday, October 12th, 7-8:30 pm Eastern! We will be focusing on the voices of students – so encourage any and all students and recent graduates you know to join us!
- The 4-week Saturday series focusing on action for white nurses is happening on October 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th, from 3 to 4:30 pm Eastern. These discussions will be informed by two books (not required reading but highly recommended now or later!)

“As such, fake kindness is essentially a way for dominant agents to force on their counterparts a passive acceptance of their subordination by limiting the behavioural repertoire available to them. In the same way, displays of behavioural kindness pushed to quasi-caricatural lengths while the absence of any teleological good intentions is also made abundantly clear – should be understood as social signalling. They are ethological warnings from the dominant to the subordinate that any behavioural deviation from passive obedience will be harshly sanctioned.”
