What's Your "Ism"?

Racism, Classism, Ableism, Sexism...
An "ism" is made up of prejudice and power of one person or group over another. This is a special project of SMU's Diversity Education Program (DEP) and our purpose is to educate the SMU community about the different 'ism's we face every day, as mentioned above. We all have experienced them on either side of the spectrum.
Our hope is that this will be a resource for you to become more aware of "ism"s as pertaining to diversity - what they look like, how they affect us and how you can be an advocate for diversity and mutual understanding on our campus.
