Call to Action — uniting Fellows and collaborators around a specific issue
A Both/And Approach to Equity and Healing
Location: Westin Book Cadillac Detroit Time: October 14, 2012 \| 9am to 4pm \| Following Forum 2012 Details: Attendees will be required to commit to the full day in order to honor the need for safe space to engage with these important issues. This session will be a precursor to an upcoming 3 day Call to Action in 2013 at a place and date yet to be determined in which we will have the time and space to delve much more deeply into the dynamics of equity and healing. This gathering will bring together what is often viewed as divergent approaches to working on equity and healing between races and ethnicities. There is a body of work that focuses on racial equity - policy, systems, data and advocacy (aka "the head work") - as well as work that focuses on racial healing - personal impact, stories, feelings, and transformation (aka "the heart work"). Participants at this gathering will be expected to participate in both approaches. Since the majority of practitioners don’t work in both the equity and healing arenas, this session provides an opportunity to make this work much more powerful. Integrating the work of healing and equity allows us to expand our reach and to invite additional people to the table. It is our intention to bring you out of your comfort zone and broaden your ideas and increase your skills regarding race, ethnicity and ancestry. The registration fee of $100 covers all meals and materials. cost: $100 PRE GATHERING PREPARATION Download the agenda for the Both/And Approach to Equity and Healing here » Please prepare a 3 paragraph vignette about your story of integrating the both/and, using the following questions as a guide: If you did integrate them, what were the elements that made those experiences work? If you feel you work in one of these spaces and haven’t incorporated the other, what is the barrier? If you did not do both, were there opportunities where you could have integrated them? Did anything prevent you? What would you have needed to feel more successful integrating the both/and? What was the impact of race/ethnicity/gender/sexual orientation/ancestry/etc on your experiences? What were the salient aspects of those immutable characteristics to these experiences? How is it that these characteristics play into the integration of the both/and? We will discuss "A Gardener's Tale" by Camara Phyllis Jones, MD, MPH, PhD.
