Good afternoon!


Global and Cultural Affairs in Arts Missoula and the Jeannette Rankin Peace Center are hosting an exciting upcoming community event that we would love for you to share:



Know Thyself: Cultural Identity Workshop

Saturday, January 26th, 9am-noon

Payne Family Native American Center, UofM Campus

Seeing the Elephant Unconference in June last year, organized and facilitated by the Jeannette Rankin Peace Center, was a very successful event in Missoula! Community members, UM students and faculty members alike were participating in debates, inspired by lightning keynotes, contributed to break-out sessions and joined group and panel discussions, tackling the question "Does my world look different from yours?

Conversations continued, past the actual event, in person and via e-mail with participants at the time suggesting a follow-up event that would have "cultural identity" as its central topic for presentations, discussions and community participation. Cultural Identity, a person's self-conception and self-perception, is related to nationality, ethnicity, religion, social class, generation, locality or any kind of social group that has its own distinct culture. Everyone has a cultural identity. Knowing where you come from can give you a sense of belonging and a sense of self. For some people, culture is more about the families you create rather than your birth heritage. This could mean a local club, community group or sports team.

Global and Cultural Affairs in Arts Missoula is excited to partner with the Jeannette Rankin Peace Center to offer Know Thyself: A Cultural Identity Workshop on Saturday, January 26, from 9:00 to noon in the Payne Native American Center, on the UM campus, hosted by Dr. Udo Fluck, Director, Global and Cultural Affairs and Betsy Mulligan-Daque, Executive Director, Jeannette Rankin Peace Center.


The event is Free with coffee, tea and snacks provided.

Spend the morning with us on Saturday, January 26, from 9:00 to noon in the Payne Native American Center to explore and learn more about cultural identity.
