Recent News
The Department of Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies and our many extended communities, feel shocked and saddened by the brutal attack on our colleague, mentor, and friend David Warner. That he was intervening to break up a fight is no surprise to those of us who know him as a peacemaker, a teacher in every sense of the word, and someone who works diligently trying to get people to be their best. He is the ideal educator, curious to keep learning and to share all he learns. A big talker, he is also a sensitive listener. A good learner, he also teaches his teachers. While we remain concerned about violence within the WSU community, our ambition, our energies, and our commitment is to support his transition to a full recovery.
