Hello,

I’m reaching to share a special event with your students and faculty. It’s a screening of my documentary “Visceral: transforming trauma through theatre.” The film was featured in the Social Workers Speak newsletter [socialworkersspeak.org] last year.

 

“Visceral” tells the story of four individuals, three of whom are veterans, who overcome PTSD by performing onstage. It’s November 11th, 7pm at Jack Straw Cultural Center, Seattle. The film will be followed with a Q&A by one of the film’s featured veterans, Jonathan Olson and me, the director.

This is a free screening, but an RSVP is required: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/amy-erickson-visceral-tickets-428823000137 [eventbrite.com]

Many thanks,

Amy Erickson

Director of Visceral.

Join the UW Libraries this summer for the fifth annual Graduate Student Research Institute (GSRI)!

Registration: https://forms.gle/2UkMT3LHASwTABc48

The Graduate Student Research Institute (GSRI) is a free and asynchronous multi-day online workshop offered by the UW libraries. It offers new and returning UW graduate students the tools and strategies they need to research smarter, not harder.  The workshop focuses on anti-racism and centering Black, Indigenous and Student of Color (BIPOC) experiences in academia. BIPOC graduate student experiences, advice and resources are included throughout the institute, with affiliate-spaces for BIPOC students and staff mentors to engage together in community.

The bulk of the content will be in Canvas, and participants can choose to engage in Slack, with customized support from UW librarians and other qualified experts in their subject areas.

GSRI can help you to:

• Learn skills and strategies for effective academic research
• Become familiar with core tools and resources for research productivity
• Connect with relevant support units across the UW campuses
• Build community with other UW students and campus support staff

There are two online, asynchronous sessions of GSRI being offered in Summer 2022:

Session #1: August 22-26, 2022

Session #2: September 12-16, 2022

Participation FAQs:

• GSRI learning takes place over 5 days with no fixed participation times (asynchronous). There will be optional synchronous Zoom sessions to participate in.
• GSRI requires daily engagement in the form of small activities and Slack discussions. We recommend you reserve one hour per day to complete the GSRI curriculum.
• GSRI is a free, online, not-for-credit experience. All UW graduate students are welcome.

For questions, email: libraries-gsri@u.washington.edu.
