Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection.

Authoritarians, he shows, have learned from the past and present how to attack this shared understanding, seeking to separate us from our own history to destroy our self-understanding and leave us unmoored, resentful, and confused. By setting us against each other, he writes, authoritarians represent themselves as the sole solution.In authoritarian countries, critical examination of those nations' history and traditions is discouraged if not an outright danger to those who do it. And it is no accident that local and global institutions of education have become a battleground, the authoritarian right's tip of the spear, where learning and efforts to upend a hierarchal status quo can be put to end by coercion and threats of violence. In Erasing History, Stanley exposes the true danger of the authoritarian right's attacks on education, identifies their key tactics and funders, and traces their intellectual roots. He illustrates how fears of a fascist future have metastasized, from hypothetical threat to present reality. And he shows that hearts and minds are won in our schools and universities—places that democratic societies across the world are now ill-prepared to defend against today's fascist assault. Deeply informed and urgently needed, Erasing History is a global call to action for those who wish to preserve democracy—in America and abroad—before it is too late. _______________This event is the public keynote address of a workshop on 'Sustaining Human Rights in the Face of Far-Right Extremism.'Manisha Sinha (https://history.uconn.edu/person/manisha-sinha/), James L. and Shirley A.
