For those who missed the HC2 Identity Conference in February, Harvard Cable TV (channel 192) will be airing each speaker’s presentation starting March 26 for one week each night at 8:30 pm. Suraiya Suliman will be airing for two weeks. The presentations will also be available on the HCTV website, www.harvardcabletv.com/vod. The stories are inspirational and as diverse as the people who spoke. Here is the list of speakers in the order in which they will be found on the TV channel. I hope many of you will take the time to listen and learn about many of your neighbors in Harvard and nearby.
- Suraiya Suliman on being a woman + engineer + immigrant + of color
- Didi Chadran on names and how they affect who we become
- John Chapman on how our identities change throughout our lives (featuring the original song “You Haven’t Changed a Bit”)
- Betsy Peterson on being a mom and the impacts her daughter Jessie’s death had (or didn’t have) on her identity
- Roland Gibson on the teacher’s role in shaping their students’ identities
- Ewelina Rudnicka on growing up in a multicultural environment and how it led to her involvement in human rights work
- Kira Houston on growing up as a transgender male
- Lucy Wallace on how family dynamics led to her passion for civil service
- Fernando Catalina on how independence, language, and travel influenced who he has become
