R261. Mapping the Edges of Our Wounds: A Generative Workshop

Room 210A, Henry B. González Convention Center, Meeting Room Level
Thursday, March 5, 2020
3:20 pm to 4:35 pm

 

How do institutions obstruct a culture of care around sexual assault? How can we think differently about responses to trauma? This interactive workshop is designed to explore these questions and prompt ongoing dialogue about sexual assault and institutional care. Representing different perspectives (administrative, teaching, creative), we include visual and auditory components, reflective opportunities, and scaffolded writing prompts that lead participants to name and share.
