Gender-Based Violence Poster Presentations
December 5, 2017 - 6:15 PM to 7:45 PM ET
You are invited to the SSW poster presentations on gender-based violence. Gender-based violence is a prevalent, serious human rights violation that remains invisible. In solidarity with the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence Campaign, the students in SW708 (grassroots and policy responses to domestic violence: critical, structural and global perspectives) will present their research on various policies, system's responses, and community-based strategies to address gender-based violence, intimate partner violence (IPV) in particular. They will also share their visions for more effective policies and strategies. Refreshments will be provided.
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence Campaign runs from 11/25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) and 12/10 (Human Rights Day).

A Call to Action: Help Create an Alternative Event
December 6, 2017 - 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET
The School of Social Work is leading a collaborative effort to organize an alternative event if Richard Spencer comes to speak on campus. This would not be a protest or counter protest, but rather a separate event that celebrates social justice. While U-M considers his request, students, faculty and staff are mobilizing. The goal is to have a fully-formed action plan and be ready to move swiftly when more details become available.
Are you interested in helping to plan such an event and collaborate with other graduate schools on campus? Join us for an initial organizing meeting, open to all who are willing to come and share support and ideas for our community.
Dinner will be provided.
