Community College

We explore how to use our community's collective talents to provide culturally relevant multidisciplinary education. We also design and build safe spaces to scale (community, academic, and corporate). As a part of our community, your attendance will be alongside Black and Brown community members that live, work, and play outside of the traditional university experience. Each week, we lead a series of participatory lectures and active provocations by Black and Brown creative misfits, leaders, and voices in photography, design, music, activism, tech, education, and entrepreneurship. They share their work and passions, and insights on how they've navigated, created, and advocated for the inclusion of Black and Brown voices and spaces within the halls of power. Each class, they challenge the status quo with a course of action aligned towards creating psychologically safe space for learning and discourse. At the end of our first 10-week experimental course, you'll be armed with the frame of mind, confidence, community, and tools needed in order to continue doing so in your own sphere of influence. If you want to be part of a movement towards building access, equity, and space for the marginalized within ivory towers, you've come to the right place. Join us. *Students of all backgrounds are welcome, and Black and Brown students are highly encouraged to apply. Our course will consist of Stanford students as well as underrepresented members of the community and non-traditional students.
