Скачать или смотреть The slippery slope of everyday horror | Alta Mauro | TEDxNYUAD

After watching Jordan Peele’s ‘Get Out’, Alta reflects on the everyday horrors we encounter. We watch the violent scenes of this horror film and shudder at the gore, but not all of us shudder at the slights to the main character’s character, dignity, humanity which precede and make way for the brutality; the vicious rhetoric used to portray him as subhuman, long before he is quite literally brainwashed and assaulted physically. What would happen if more of us were willing to see, hear, and acknowledge the inhumane ways that some of us are disregarded, misrepresented, or manipulated, which make it easier-less newsworthy- for us to neglected, abused, or even killed? Could we curb- or even erase- systemic oppression by first acknowledging everyday injustices lurking in plain sight? Alta Mauro is the founding director of Spiritual Life & Intercultural Education at New York University Abu Dhabi where she leads university efforts related to student, staff, and faculty intercultural competence. She earned a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Cultural Foundations from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. In her talk, she reflects on the everyday horrors we encounter and whether could we curb- or even erase- systemic oppression by first acknowledging these horrors. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
