Remember that @karenattiah.bsky.social is offering her own independent course on Race, Media, and International Affairs online after Columbia cancelled her class in the crackdown on "DEI," a.k.a. accurate discussion of race, gender, and discrimination. www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Our first panellist is Yunna who is speaking about Male-only security check lanes. This presentation was developed following a personal experience in China. The male-centric nature of the policy demonstrates gendered disparity, giving men choice, priority, and efficiency.
