1-4pm, Payne Room in the Tang
Love within the U.S. context is often defined in overly individualistic and depoliticized ways. Why? What about love and its role in social transformation? This session will analyze the ways in which the everyday notion of love operates as a tool of oppression and perpetuates white supremacist ideology to shape our social realities, desirability, and diminish possibilities for social transformation. This session will offer us all an opportunity to interrogate what love is, how we have been socialized by it, and how it shapes our capacity to lead change and hold each other with loving accountability. In this workshop, led by Founder and CEO Durryle Brooks, we will explore a Critical Theory of Love framework to interrogate our own social justice practices and ensure that we are not perpetuating oppression, but instead helping ourselves and others to heal while resisting erasure and dehumanization.
 
Participants will leave with:
  • An operational definition of love that is based in healing justice
  • A framework for applying a Critical Theory of Love to our social justice work
  • Principles and practices of love to help us all heal from the effects of systemic oppression

In It 9 - What It Takes To Heal with Prentis Hemphill
3-4pm, Gannett Auditorium
As we emerge from the past few years of collective upheaval, are we ready to face the complexities of our time with joy, authenticity, and connection? Now, more than ever, we must learn to heal ourselves, connect with each other, and embody our values. Join Prentis Hemphill, author of the new book 鈥淲hat It Takes To Heal: How Transforming Ourselves Can Change the World,鈥 in a conversation on the intersection of individual healing and societal transformation. We explore questions of what it means to be well in an increasingly unwell earth and in fractured societies and families. Together we can look for ways that our pursuit of healing can be reparative for ourselves, for our relationships, our communities, and the places where we live.
