                                            RACIAL CLUMPING:
                   A Dinner Discussion on Racial Identity on Campus
          ********************************************
                                                  Hosted by
    the Afro-American Society and the Dartmouth Asian Organization



	    	   TODAY, February 8th
                                                  8:00PM
                                            Cutter-Shabazz
                                   *ALL ARE WELCOME*


In her national bestseller, "Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together
in the Cafeteria?" Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum argues that "racial clumping"
for most students of color "is a process of establishing and affirming
their racial identity through positive interactions."


******************************************************************
Questions for Discussion:


  - What is "self-segregation?"
  - Is "racial clumping" a better term? What does it mean?
  - What are the benefits and disadvantages of racial clumping?
  - Does racial clumping affect the majority? In what ways?
  - Is racial clumping occurring at Dartmouth? How should we address it?
  - Do individuals racially clump 24/7? Is it possible to racially clump 24/7?
