Conscious Dating's Race and Dating Panel
Panelists will discuss attraction, racial bias and dating in Australia.
Overview
Dating. There's no such thing as talking too much about it. And, thanks to creative groups like Conscious Dating, there's no shortage of ways to do it. If dating apps and singles parties haven't been producing the goods, Conscious Dating could be your new Tinder — they organise events where you can meet like-minded people for informal chats.
This Wednesday night, Conscious Dating is hosting a panel discussion dedicated to race and dating. Three whizzbang speakers will be getting together to discuss all the tricky stuff — from the impact of racial bias on attraction to the trials and tribulations of being fetishised because of your background. They'll also be taking a look at how you can identify your racial biases and increase your dating pool.
The panelists include award-winning journo and host of SBS's Date My Race Santilla Chingaipe, Andy Quan — writer, editor and co-founder of the Sexual Racism Sux campaign — and Dr sociologist Zuleyka Zevallos.
