- Know Your Rights: Activism at the University | UConn Hartford Dean's SeriesSep 19, 2024 10:00 AM | 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.
