Not an opposition to tradition, but a tradition of opposition: The Avenues for Social Justice and Activism in all areas of education

The goal of the workshop is to show that it is possible to bring elements of social justice and activism into every dimension of education from Grade 2 Math to a Ph.D. in Computer Science. The subscription to objectivity, notably in science and the humanities, – but also growing the social sciences – may adhere to disciplinary rigor, but it also reproduces hegemonic processes of power and structure. The result is that disciplines that explicitly focus on social justice can be quickly marginalized as unorthodox, unprofessional or unimportant. As educators we have tremendous agency in selecting case studies, informative examples and narratives. This workshop will cover 14 disciplines and employ demonstrative examples of social justice advocacy within each discipline's professional parameters. The point of the workshop is two fold. First, to show that it is possible to bring social justice into mainstream education. Second, doing so not only affords opportunities for engaging class experiences, but also sets the tone for civic engagement.

In it for the Long Haul: Self-Care for Sustainable Activism PART 1

Due to the stress factors and culture of social/environmental activism, social activists may be at higher risk for developing symptoms of burnout, trauma, or isolation. Yet for various reasons, activists may not always be in a position to engage in adequate self-care or seek out the support they need. Addressing this issue, this workshop will offer participants a chance to explore the topic of “self-care” through engagement in a group process informed by eco-psychology and drama therapy frameworks. Acknowledging the interconnection between the individual self and the larger ecological/social realities of our time, the workshop will provide a space for participants to explore the feelings they carry about their work & world, renew their power, build solidarity, and reflect on developing a strategy of self-care for the long-haul. The sessions will be experiential in nature, and will include creative, drama-based exercises, discussion and structured forms of sharing.
