Michael Barrett

Work-Study

michael barretFun fact: I can juggle with either balls or a chinese yoyo

I'm a co-founder of three cultural organizations: MESS, the Interfaith LLC and club, and Introverts Unite; and I'm currently serving as president for MESS and Introverts Unite.

I'm an OMA journalist for R-Net

Summer after my freshmen year, OMA sponsored my participation in the Social Justice Training Institute, and I organized and co-facilitated a workshop at the Summit on Transforming Learning during my sophomore year as part of the Leadership Ally giveback program.

This year I'm working on my giveback project for attending the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity. So far I have three presentations planned. One about the segregational and superficial ways society organizes itself, both physically and socially. The other is about an expanded understanding of bullying, which becomes the framework for any type of oppressive relationship between the dominant and subordinate groups in a social hierarchy. The last one is about a general theory of diversity, which is characteristic of any strong and resilient system.
