Where do we go from here, sacred ground or battleground?
Facilitated by Jen Leptien, Director of Learning Communities, Iowa State University, Larry Roper, Professor, School of Language, Culture, and Society, Oregon State University, and Sonja Wiedenhaupt, Member of the Faculty, The Evergreen State College
Over the past year, the deep wounds in our nation, local communities, and campus environments have been revealed in astounding ways. Our campuses have experienced conflict, controversy, and activism. Our students, faculty, and staff bring with them to campus personal lived experiences, emotions, attitudes, and behaviors that reflect the impact of the world and our social realities. As we begin to emerge from these tumultuous times, we must ask ourselves, where do we go from here? Do we continue on the path of conflict and confrontation or do we elevate our commitment to health and wholeness and honor the sacredness of our human communities? Our time together will look at the tensions we face and issues to consider as we move towards creating healing as restorative spaces.
