Alaska Director for Damsel in Defense August 23, 2016

Tara Lampert: I’m the Alaska Director for Damsel in Defense – welcome!

I’m available for Empower Hours in the Anchorage area and the Valley. I can travel if I have enough notice. I also have team members in Fairbanks, Kenai, & Kodiak and can coordinate an Empower Hour for you with my team.

I teach Women’s Studies at UAA and Alaska is one of the most dangerous states for women. With our mission of equipping, empowering, and educating women, we hope to bring the statistics down.

Safe Space and Real World? August 23, 2016

If you assure the safety of the people, location does not matter. This means people take responsibility (what a concept, eh?) for themselves as a group. One could also discuss the safe space between some folks ears as no thoughts will ever occur.~

How do you define Campus Safety, Safe space?

Mitch Albom: Is ‘safe space’ concept being abused on campus?

Learning life lessons

Now, it’s true, college can be challenging, and students of color or atypical backgrounds can face hurdles that others do not. Schools should do whatever is possible to ensure all students feel supported.

But unless you plan to live on your parents’ couch forever, the idea of spaces so “safe” you hear nothing you don’t like will quickly disappear with the cap and gown. So how does this prepare students for the real world?

My original headline was “The Dodge Charger Scat Pack Turned Me Into An Asshole,” but then I realize that a car can’t really change someone’s character. There already has to be an asshole buried deep within.

It’s a hard pill to swallow. I used to think I was a pretty good dude, but apparently I’ve had a sociopathic, abrasive punk hidden deep in my soul—a side of me only recently brought to light by a bright red sedan whose only aim is to cover the road in burnt rubber.
