USF Social Justice Activism Conference, “Transforming Conflicts and Societies”
This two-day conference offers students a number of workshops and presentations focusing on multiple ways to become more engaged social justice activists working to transform local and international conflicts. The conference is open to all USF under/graduate students as well as student alumni from USF-affiliated programs run in partnership with Abraham’s Vision and the Center for Transformative Education.
In this workshop, we will learn with Mark Gonzales, a thought leader using storytelling as a global health strategy. His ability to cultivate imagination, teach methodology, & curate stories across thematic lines has awarded him invitations to over fifteen countries, with previous clients that include TED(x) talks, Stanford University, Wehdat refugee camp, State Library of Queensland (Australia), the United Nations, & HBO’s Def Poetry. He is often found poetically integrating narrative and medicine via twitter: @WageBeauty.
This Swig Program in Jewish Studies and Social Justice event is co-sponsored by the Departments of Media Studies, Politics, Theology and Religious Studies, International Studies (BAIS), Master’s in International Studies program (MAIS), and Programs in Middle East Studies, and Peace and Justice Studies.
