The Office of Multicultural Affairs is encouraging students to think about the effects of peer oppression. The office established Hate Out Week in 2001, an event designed to promote on-campus unity and positive attitudes among peers. The theme for this year’s event, “No One Should Be Labeled,” focuses on the different labels students give their peers, and the oppression that comes with those labels.
Matt Reed, complex director of student housing, said that this event is important to bring to light oppression that still exists.
“These kind of events are crucial to our campus community,” Reed said. “They help bring awareness to our peers, what happens to them and what we can do to help.”
Scheduled events include a presentation by Eva Vega, a speaker who uses humor to bring important diversity issues to light, and an exhibit called the Tunnel of Oppression, which allows students to experience different forms of oppression, or to be placed in unfamiliar environments. Reed said that the events would help students focus on ways that they can work to eliminate discrimination and hatred.
“I feel like a lot of students come to KU not really understanding what oppression is out there,” Reed said. “Through this, they can gain knowledge of what’s going on. The more they know, the more they can do to play a role in order to eliminate hate.”
