Community Dialogues, Exploring Care Lineages and Building Care Networks ----------------- These are facilitated sessions where you can engage with peers from diverse backgrounds. People who participate in the Community Dialogues program will be able to: 1) Identify important aspects of their personal backgrounds, 2) Articulate the value of understanding different perspectives, 3) Describe and demonstrate principles of positive social engagement in communication, and 4) Understand about being responsible members of the Community. --- Session: "Care" simply refers to the act of looking after or providing for the needs of others or things. In this discussion, we will consider further definitions and expressions of care as it is employed through a disability justice lens. Join us as we identify and honor our care lineages, consider ways to build care networks, and identify the things we want to learn and unlearn about giving and receiving care. --- Speaker: Elyssa J. Santos is a Chamoru-Comanche daughter residing in Guåhan (Guam), Låguas yan Gåni (Mariana Islands). She holds a B.A. in History and Chamorro Studies from the University of Guam, an M.A. in Pacific Islands Studies from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, and is currently pursuing a PhD in History and Museum Studies. As a historian and Foreign Language and Area Studies fellow, her research primarily centers on islander resistance, indigenous resurgence informed by indigenous epistemologies, and language revitalization. While Disability Justice work is newer terrain for Santos, she believes historians have an obligation to explore intersections between their discipline and that of others, to connect and apply their practice to broader critical movements, and to consider how disability - a historical and lived experience - can serve as a worthy category of historical analysis. --- Community Dialogues brought to you by the Conflict and Peace Specialist, and Peace Sustainability and Advocacy.
