Event #1 Know Your Rights: Activism at the University What is student activism? What rights do students have to protest? How can the university support student political engagement? What is the relationship between UConn Hartford and the University system, between UConn and Hartford and society? In this introduction to the Series, a group of students, staff, faculty, and administrators will participate in an interactive session discussing these and other questions. Additional Events in the Series: Event #2 – The Student Vote (https://events.uconn.edu/uconn-hartford/event/82798-the-student-vote-uconn-hartford-deans-series)Event #3 – Post-Election Actions (https://events.uconn.edu/uconn-hartford/event/82891-post-election-actions-uconn-hartford-deans-series) During community conversations held in the spring, we heard from students, staff, and faculty that there is a need to continue to gather and learn together. In response, we have developed this new series that brings our collective experience and knowledge to bear on issues concerning the histories and roles of the university and society. Centering students and the residents of Hartford, the UConn Hartford Dean's Series on the University and Society is a series of workshops and presentations where the community meets to examine the present and imagine possible futures of the university. In the pilot semester, the Series will coordinate three events focused on activism, the student vote and the 2024 election, and post-election actions. We will collectively determine other workshops and presentations for the spring 2025 semester and beyond.Administered and funded by the UConn Hartford Dean's Office, the Series is also connected to ongoing community conversations (every 2 weeks) to allow sustained, critical reflection, refinement, and deeper inclusion. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly for lunch.

Are you wondering what your students are saying about your class when you are not in the room? Instead of waiting for feedback in the form of the end of semester SET, using the Group-Instructional Feedback Technique (GIFT) allows you to adjust your teaching early in the semester for a better learning student experience. You can demonstrate to your students that you are listening, caring and open to constructive dialogue. During the session we will introduce the GIFT and invite a discussion on how to use the results. NOTE: GIFT visits are a service that CETL staff provides based on availability for formative feedback to support professional development and reflection. The visits are not intended for evaluative purposes. Departments interested to discuss their evaluation processes are encouraged to reach out to CETL.

Bloom provides a place for group members to discuss issues unique to their experience at a predominantly white institution (PWI), including academic stress, relationships, race/ethnicity related stress, familial pressures and navigating cultural expectations. There will be an emphasis on healing, maintaining healthy relationships and setting boundaries. Bloom means to be open, blossom and to maintain flourishing conditions that help us grow. It's time to Bloom.To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4705 (tel:+18604864705) This session is held by Chantaul Smith, LMFT (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/chantaul-smith/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing.

Please RSVP below.After the event, join us for a reception in the Dodd Lounge. _______________ In Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future, Jason Stanley, Ph.D., makes an urgent, fact-intensive call on behalf of democracy, showing it requires what is now being threatened: a common understanding of reality; a shared view of what has happened, that informs ordinary citizens' decisions about what should happen, now and in the future. 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. Draper Chair in American History (UConn), will provide comments. Rolf Frankenberger (https://kopfmaennchen.net/mein-zuhause/), Director of the Institute for Research on Far-Right Extremism (University of Tübingen) will moderate.
