SUMMARY:Coping with Climate Anxiety in the Classroom and for Yourself: a Workshop for College & University Faculty
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place online on July 23 starting at 9 am Hawaii/ 12 noon Pacific/ 3 pm Eastern/ 8 pm Central European Time.\n  \nThe Worry & Hope study at the University of Hawaii revealed a pervasive emotional climate of fear\, anger\, sadness\, shame and hope about climate change. College faculty already knew this\, and are\, themselves\, feeling anxiety\, grief\, and additional stress that accompanies a sense of urgency and responsibility to teach and engage with students about climate change across all academic subject areas. \nThis two hour online workshop is for faculty to address their own emotions so that we can create and hold space in our classrooms for students to integrate and process hard realities about climate change impacts. If not here\, where? If not us\, who? A short overview of research on climate change education and pedagogies will be followed by experiential workshop going through 4 activities that you can then use in your classroom.  The activities are based on recent research as well as ecotherapy\, ecopsychology\, and the Active Hope work of Joanna Macy. \nThis event is Deeper Dive of the workshops from April\, May and June (but everyone is welcome to attend)\, in which we will continue to learn from each other and build a set of practices that work in a higher education setting. \nKrista Hiser is the Director of the University of Hawaii System Center for Sustainability Across the Curriculum (an AASHE Regional Center). She is also a longtime Professor of writing and teaches climate change communication\, project-based sustainability capstone\, and climate fiction. \nRegister today Deadline is July 22. Contact Krista Hiser with questions. \n

SUMMARY:JUST SUSTAINABILITIES IN URBAN PLANNING AND PRACTICE
DESCRIPTION:EcoDistricts is proud to announce that our next Webinar Wednesday will be hosted by Dr. Julian Agyeman of Tufts University\, a key thought leader of the movement to center racial equity and justice in the urban planning and design profession. \nIn this provocative and engaging conversation\, Julian will outline the concept of just sustainabilities as a response to the ‘equity deficit’ of current sustainability thinking and practice. He believes that what our cities can become (sustainable\, smart\, sharing\, and resilient) and who is allowed to belong in them (recognition of difference\, diversity\, and a right to the city) are fundamentally and inextricably interlinked. He will highlight his scholarship and writing with examples from urban planning and design\, urban agriculture and food justice\, and the concept of sharing cities. \nRegister for this Free Event Here

SUMMARY:Washington Center Summer Institute for  Improving Undergraduate Education
DESCRIPTION:This year we have partnered with dynamic organizations to offer you in-depth pre-institute sessions. Included in your team registration is the opportunity to attend one of three partner sessions to kick-off your experience at the institute. We begin our spotlight of these partner sessions with…\n\nTurning Evidence into More Equitable Outcomes for Students: Lessons from the National Institute for Learning Outcomes (NILOA) and the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)\nFacilitated by Pat Hutchings (NILOA) and Jillian Kinzie (NSSE) \nThis pre-conference session is an opportunity to explore a central theme of the Institute and an important component in campus action plans: how to use student learning outcomes assessment to create a culture of ongoing improvement.  We’ll begin with your questions and experiences about assessment—both challenges and successes—building toward a set of principles for effective practice based on and supported by resources from NILOA and NSSE.  The goal is to help you build assessment into your campus action plan in a way that will support your most important goals—for more and better student learning\, more equitable outcomes\, stronger curricular and co-curricular connections\, and more effective teaching.

SUMMARY:American Experience: The Vote
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of women’s suffrage with NEH-supported films and online resources \nWASHINGTON\, D.C. (July 2\, 2020) — The ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in August of 1920 was the culmination of a lengthy and hard-won struggle fought by legions of American women who organized\, campaigned\, marched\, and engaged in civil disobedience to achieve the goal of women’s suffrage. \nPremiering on PBS American Experience on July 6\, The Vote\, a two-part documentary funded by a $350\,000 grant to City Lore from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, tells the story of the final decade of the transformative cultural and political movement that resulted in the largest expansion of voting rights in U.S. history. Directed and produced by Michelle Ferrari\, the film examines the major turning points within the women’s suffrage movement between 1909 to 1920\, the debates among its leaders about the best tactics for effecting social and political change\, the unsung leaders of the movement\, and the controversies over gender roles and race that divided the nation. \nThe Vote is one of several NEH-supported projects focused on women’s history and 100 years of women’s suffrage. \nOn July 10\, PBS American Masters will also premiere the documentary Unladylike2020\, on female trailblazers in politics and civil rights. Directed and produced by Charlotte Mangin\, this special one-hour broadcast is part of an NEH-funded multimedia series that illuminates the inspiring stories of little-known American heroines. Unladylike2020 spotlights 26 American changemakers through 26 short online documentaries and includes biographies of women such as Bessie Coleman\, the first African American to earn an international pilot’s license; Susan La Flesche Picotte\, the first Native American physician who also founded a hospital on the Omaha Reservation; Jeanette Rankin\, the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress; and Gertrude Ederle\, the first woman to swim across the English Channel.

SUMMARY:Learning as a Living Process
DESCRIPTION:The Learning as a Living Process 4-week class\, facilitated by Milt Markewitz\, begins this Sunday. There is still some room and scholarship $$s is available\, if you’re interested.  It will be focused on what do we do to bring life to education\, and what additional Professional Development and other courses need to be created. \nRegistration is available through the class sponsor\, The Transformative Learning Foundation\, with the following four (4) sessions from 10:00-11:30 am on Sunday mornings. \nJune 21th –The Earth and all its Systems are Alive\, is a revelation to many of us in this culture\, so we will look at the attributes of living systems and the life processes to which we’re all endowed.  We’ll see that Nature is a set of emergent processes\, integral to creation\, with us in every moment\, and gives great insights into a world of possibilities we may not currently be considering. \nJune 28st – An Appropriate Consciousness -Potential Aliveness\, we have a guest facilitator\, Unangan/Aleut Ilarion Merculieff\, and we’ll look at when certain cultures disconnected from understanding the aliveness of the Earth what has resulted in terms what we’ve wrought\, our current ethical dilemma\, and our need to shift consciousness.  We’ll understand more deeply some paradigm shifts we embodied in the first class.                        \nJuly 5th – Bringing Life to Education\, we’ll explore bringing life to education with guest Yvonne Vizina (Métis)\, as we discern Learning as a Living Process\, and what brings and takes life in all our environments including renewing life on our planet. \nJuly 12th — Student Aspirations for Animating Education\, will be dedicated to the student presenting how they perceive Living as a Learning Process\, in terms of creating interdependent\, emergent relationships with all that surrounds them.  Renee Beth Poindexter\, Chair of the Transformative Learning Foundation\, will join us to help us define the Professional Development we feel is required. \nTo learn more\, view this short video:  https://zoom.us/rec/share/yM1IBIHe53pLYtKTymvgHb9xG5nYX6a8gXNP_fUKnk0VW0DZzkh0TcqW3KPip3ax\, Password: 6v*H=6n^\, to introduce the course to prospective students.   \nThe cost for the course is $195.00\, and Pull Together Now is making $1000.00 available for scholarships of up to $195.00/person.  Contact Lisa Smith for the application at lisas@pulltogethernow.org. \nCall or email Milt if you have questions or concerns: 503-248-0432 or miltmarkewitz@gmail.com. \n
