Community Conversation: Exploring Hidden Illnesses and/or Disabilities
February 9, 2023 - 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET
We invite you to a Community Conversation around Exploring hidden illnesses and/or disabilities.
"But it doesn't seem that bad." Let's explore together how our experiences with agency, believability, dismissal, and stereotypes might impact the lives of those with a hidden illness and/or disabilities. How do agency, autonomy, disclosure, and self-advocating impact the lives of people having these experiences? 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.)
About the format. 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.

Dinner & Conversation: Social Justice from a Global Lens
February 9, 2023 - 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM ET
This event, which is co-sponsored by the Office of Global Activities and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, aims to bring together all the members of the SSW community who are interested in engaging in conversation about social justice from a global lens! It will be a great opportunity to connect, learn about how social justice issues manifest in our different home communities, and share food that tells stories about our diverse cultural backgrounds.
During the event, there will be tables set up where attendees who are interested in discussing a similar social justice issue can sit together and discuss how that issue manifests in different communities across the globe. Participants will have the opportunity to rotate to different tables to discuss more than one theme. At the end of the event, everyone will come together to talk about their experiences and what they have learned.
Students, faculty members, and staff will be provided with dinner from restaurants in Ann Arbor that serve food that is reflective of different global cuisines.
