Online conversation with Dr. Anu Taranath, author of "Beyond Guilt Trips"

(Zoom information for this event will be emailed to the campus.)

Travel is a powerful tool. Our journeys to lands different than what we know can broaden our horizons, push ourselves outside of our comfort zones and further our quest to become global citizens. Travel, though, can also be deeply unsettling, confusing, and discomforting. Travelers can find themselves unsure about how to think or speak about the differences in race or culture they find, even though these differences might have fueled their desire to travel in the first place. Join Dr. Lori Hartmann, director of the Center for Global Citizenship, and author Dr. Anu Taranath to discuss her award-winning book "Beyond Guilt Trips: Mindful Travel in an Unequal World," named one of Oprah Magazine's "26 Best Travel Books of All Times" and a Washington State Book Award Finalist. 

 

Dr. Anu Taranath is a Teaching Professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, and a facilitator and consultant specializing in issues of diversity, racial equity and social change.
