Holding Emotions- 4/12/2021

 Conversation Overview

Over the last year, we have engaged in radical shifts to match life experience students, faculty, and staff may be dealing with emotions that may be running high. Join us to discuss the experience of holding emotions in the body, teaching practices that support diverse emotional experiences, and ways of understanding the trauma people may be feeling and bringing to class discussions—relevant for supporting BIPOC experience and burnout, challenging and dismantling white supremacy, facing the pandemic, and post-traumatic stress. Please join Cece Briggs and Sara Beth Lohre for a Messy Conversation on Holding Emotions.
