About
This session will be an open dialogue on the ways democratic climates impact communities, relationships, our work as educators and our own lived experiences. We'll begin by sharing what’s on our minds: What’s shaping our thoughts and actions right now? How are we responding to the political landscape? Together, we'll reflect on the role of teaching and working at Berkeley and its impact on communities during times of tension, polarization, and uncertainty. We will think about the use and purpose of teaching and working in such a politically charged moment, and how we can bring hope, care, and restoration into our work. Following the conversation, we will consider collective strategies to address immediate needs and concerns, learn and engage in exercises designed to teach us how to move and process energy, replenish ourselves, and generate capacity for continued care and engagement. \ \ This conversation is part of the Teaching and Working in Troubled Times workshop series offered by the American Cultures Center, Center for Teaching and Learning, and Division of Equity Inclusion\
