Beyond the Stereotype: There is Belief

The campaign began in 2015 with it's first set of posters entitled Beyond the Stereotype: There is History. Then continued in 2018 with its second iteration entitled Beyond the Stereotype: There is Pride. The current poster campaign was unveiled at the All Peoples Luncheon on October 29th, 2020. These posters are currently on display virtually and will be on display at the University Library in fall 2021.

Specific goals for this campaign:

1. Challenge/investigate the stereotypes surrounding religion, spirituality, faith, and life practices
2. Investigate the various ways that belief/faith can inspire social action
3. Understand the various ways that belief/faith has aided in the oppression of people
4. Invite self-reflection, introspection, and self-exploration as one engages the campaign
