Breaking Barriers Conference is held each spring and an opportunity to deconstruct myths and barriers of class, culture, race, gender, religion and sexual orientation. Our conference consists of students, faculty, and staff who share their unique stories through personal narrative, poem, song or art; this conference is also an opportunity for attendees to self-reflect and ask questions.
The Hegemony Project is a University of Wisconsin-Stout initiative designed to support students in recognizing how and why inequities have developed and are reproduced at the university level and in the wider society, and to develop strategies for greater equity and inclusion. The Hegemony Project Team includes UW-Stout students, faculty and staff. We facilitate multiple events during the academic year, including E-Race and E-Radicate Stereotypes Dialogues and our end of the year, Breaking Barriers Conference.
