Would-be activists often cite social, political, and economic barriers for their lack of activism within the marginalized communities with whom they claim to ally. Dr. Amy Aldridge Sanford addresses perceived barriers to social justice activism, makes a case for urgency, and gives specific advice to passive allies who are ready to become engaged activists.
Amy Aldridge Sanford grew up in rural Oklahoma in a homogenous community of 1,600 people. She was clueless to its lack of diversity and could not spell, define, or pronounce homogeneous. She used Pell grants and scholarships to pay for college, where her social justice consciousness was continuously challenged and refined. She graduated with a PhD in communication studies in 2006 from the University of Iowa. Today, Amy is an author, professor, and associate provost at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, an Hispanic-Serving Institution of 12,000 students in South Texas. She is the past president of the Central States Communication Association and has been honored with many local, state and national awards, including University Communication Educator of the Year in both Texas and Oklahoma. Amy lives with Gene, her spouse of 15 years, and their seven rescued pets. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
