Centering your values and priorities: Upcoming Inkcap events
Dear friends,
A lot of our discussions together have focused outward, on the contexts and infrastructures of higher education. This month, we’re turning inward, with an Inkcap discussion session focused on values and discernment, and a new co-writing session to make time for your own highly valued projects. Details are below. I hope you’ll join us.
Next Inkcap session
Join us Wednesday, December 14 at 3pm EST to discuss Hannah Alpert-Abrams’ Finding Your Purpose. (Even if you can’t make it, it’s free to download!)
This extraordinary workbook takes a justice-oriented approach to navigating our pathways in, through, and beyond higher education spaces. I think this could be an excellent tool for student mentorship, so I’d encourage you to join us whether it’s for your own interest or out of a desire to support people you work with. Register here.
Kicking off co-writing!
We’ve probably all got big, meaningful projects that we’re chipping away at on the edges of a million other tasks, and it’s really easy for the important-but-not-urgent things to get continually pushed to the side. Plus, writing is hard, and sometimes lonely.
If you’d like to prioritize your writing (or other project) and have some accountability and quiet camaraderie, consider joining us for new virtual co-writing sessions. Our first gathering will be Friday, December 9, from 2-4pm EST (though you don’t have to be there the whole time). Register here if you’d like to come.
Also coming up…
Inkcap friends may be interested in the inaugural Black Feminist Health Collaboratory conference, to be held May 19-21, 2023, in Houston, Texas. The event was shared with me by conference co-chair J. Nalubega Ross, a doctoral student at Arizona State University.
Nalubega describes the goal of the Collaboratory as providing a space for activists, scholars, artists, community organizers, and public intellectuals engaged in thought, action, and knowledge production that attends to Black Feminist scholarship and praxis. This year’s theme is Radical Health Futures. Apply by Jan 9, 2023.
With warm & bright wishes for a dark & cold month,
Katina
