Please join us in celebrating PSR faculty Dr. Alexandra Rosado-Román, who has successfully defended her dissertation, "Decolonial Betrayals: Afro-Caribbean Decolonial Activisms in Puerto Rico." Describing her dissertation, Rosado Roman said it "underscores the intricate and interconnected nature of the decolonization process, encompassing various dimensions such as the psyche, spirit, body, and land. It emphasizes the importance of adopting a comprehensive and multifaceted approach that addresses intersecting forms of oppression, challenges systemic structures, and prioritizes self-care and collective care." https://lnkd.in/gagSaUbv

COURSE 👨🎓 Degrowth and socioecological justice across disciplines at Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen In this discussion-based course, we will focus on different dimensions of the multiple crises, and on the #degrowth and #postgrowth approaches to tackle them. We begin with a primer into degrowth thinking covering key terms & principles, as well as common misunderstandings. Then turn to focus on a range of topics that present paths to socio-ecological justice, including cultural #transformation, #extractivism in the #Global South, global health and inequality, food security, democratic paths to degrowth and the role of academia, to name a few. Faculty members from each of the six faculties at UCPH will host different sessions. The approaches to tackle the interconnected crises we face require collaboration with civil society actors, and so, in each session, we will also host a civil-society actor who will provide an “on-the-ground” perspective on the discussion topic, along with the respective faculty member. 🔗 Learn more about this course and register via the following link: https://lnkd.in/e7aiNChq #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth

COUNTDOWN TO GRADUATION 2024! Thomas Berry ’24   For the next few weeks, we are celebrating our graduating history majors, what they’ve accomplished at Denison University, and what they are planning as their next steps. Please help us congratulate them!   🔹 What did you explore in your history senior seminar research project last fall?   My project was “Defining the Undefinable: Witchcraft and the Birth of Social Anthropology in Colonial Africa.” I chose this topic because I’ve always been interested in medicine and ritual-related practices in Africa during the age of colonization. Usually, colonization serves to downplay and ostracize these practices; but in this case, while there was still racial bias, European involvement at least served to produce a helpful body of study about African witchcraft which resulted in the social anthropological field.    🔹 What is one of your favorite learning moments as a history major that has really stuck with you and/or changed how you think?   I think the most important and impactful learning experience in my history career was in my History 201 sophomore seminar class. In this class, I was introduced to meta concepts about history such as Edward Said, and my perspective of history was truly broadened.    🔹 What are some other experiences that have shaped your time at Denison?   Being a consultant for Red Corps through Red Frame Lab at Denison University has been a really valuable experience as it has taught me important people skills and further entrenched the ability to think on my feet. I would also say playing football my freshman and sophomore years, since that is where I made my best friends on campus. 🔹 And where do you go from here?   Starting in the fall, I’ll be attending The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. #denisonproud #DUhistory #historymatters #liberalartsforall

#Reflections from my doctoral journey on “Stakeholder” (1) 🎓 🌟 In order to facilitate the fulfillment of the basic aspirations of all human beings in society, the following comprehensive human goal needs to be understood. From a holistic perspective, #stakeholders include human 🚶♂️ (individual, family, and society) and rest of the nature (material order, plant order, and animal order). 🌲 🌍 1.     Right understanding in #individuals: The transition towards #happiness and prosperity will take place at the individual level. Right understanding is necessary at an individual level to remain in harmony with other human beings and with the rest of nature. 2.     Prosperity in #families:  Family is the basic building block of human organization and human-human interaction. It provides a base for appreciating, accepting, understanding, and practicing to live in #harmony. 3.     Trust in #society: Individuals and families are an integrated part of the society. Value creation for society can be done by creating a prosperous, integrated, and fearless society. When #relationship gets higher priority over the physical facility, fearlessness and mutual trust develop in the society. 4.     Coexistence with #nature: Nature comprises humans and rest of the nature (physical, bio, and animal). The #coexistence of human beings with three orders of nature leads to prosperity in human beings as well as protection and enrichment of the rest of nature.   😊 #stakeholder #Doctoraljourney #coexistence #nature #Family #Individual #society #Consciouscapitalism #academiccommunity #researchcommunity #phdjourney #sustainaibility #reflections #professor #academecian #harmony #collaborations #impact #global #publications #business #ethics #values
