El Instituto's MA Student, Apoliana da Conceição dos Santos, is presenting her thesis and everyone is welcome to join!  We have limited space in conference room 240. To attend in person, RSVP for your spot. ———"Translating Blackness in 19th-Century Afro-Brazilian Literature: Unsilencing the Archive," by Apoliana da Conceição dos Santos.Brief description:This study examines how Maria Firmina dos Reis, a free Afro-Brazilian woman, used her groundbreaking 1859 novel "Úrsula" to challenge racial hierarchies in 19th-century Brazil. Firmina strategically employed the Romantic novel form to "translate Blackness"; she humanized enslaved people and critiqued the institution of slavery using moral and religious arguments, countering the predominant economic concerns of her time. This analysis applies Lorgia García Peña's concepts to understand how Firmina navigated her position as a free mixed-race woman to assert Afro-Brazilian voices in a literary tradition that typically excluded them. The research connects the novel to its contemporary newspaper discourses and positions Firmina's work as an important early example of literary resistance against colonial narratives in Brazil.

(https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/mental-health/group-therapy/) BLOOM: Undergraduate Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) This group is a space created for female Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) - identifying students to cultivate vulnerability, safety, trust, connection, and growth. 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 860-486-4700 (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. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.

Yogais protective and enlivening. Freeing you from habitual patterns of tension, this yoga creates a sense of spaciousness within, dissolves stress, strengthens core muscles, joint health, centeredness, postural alignment and groundedness, increases breath capacity and breath awareness, shifts stagnant emotions into movement and release, and is attentive to the subtle stuff of the mind, helping to free us from the driving forces of unconscious actions and thoughts. You'll practice yogic techniques that you can bring into your everyday experience for simply living a good day, and for increasing your capacity to be creatively present in your life. A yogic attitude toward self and practice is one of kindness, patience, and tenderness. We grow into our best selves in an inner atmosphere of loving care. Open to all UConn students, faculty and staff from any campus. No experience required.

Like blood in our veins, racism pervades healthcare. It pushes some people's pain, voices, and bodies aside. It distorts care and kills people faster, but it continues to be an invisible risk factor. Too many continue to deny or look past this reality — that this system meant to heal is causing harm. But some fearless nurses are saying it's time to get to work. Address human suffering. Advocate for the voiceless. This is where nursing began. But to heal, it will take everyone standing up and speaking out. Health justice, after all, is everybody's work.
