We invite you to a Community Conversation around Increasing the Sense of Belonging at the School of Social Work on Monday, September 30, 2024, from 12 pm- 1 pm. 

A Sense of Belonging- the subjective feeling of deep conversation with social groups, physical places, and individual and collective experiences- is a fundamental human need that predicts numerous mental, physical, social, economic, and behavioral outcomes. This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear!  If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)

With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.

Add your social justice voice to the political conversation. Or get a jump on a course assignment. Or do both.

Join Writing Skills Coordinator Betsy Williams for an interactive in-person writing workshop on Writing Op-Eds.

We will start with a brief presentation covering audience and purpose, and the content and shape of an op-ed. Next, we will break into small groups to brainstorm ideas and provide feedback on drafts.

Bring what you have: ideas, a title, an outline, a draft. If you have a draft or outline, please bring at least two printed copies for peer feedback. If you just want an overview of op-eds, you are absolutely invited, and can choose whether to stay for the brainstorming session. (But we hope you will leave inspired to add your voice to the public conversation.)

All members of the SSW community are welcome. Feel free to bring your lunch - and some ice cream from the Global Social Work Poster Fair.
