  • 3/9 Talk/About: A Cultural Engagement Opportunity

    Students at the University of Connecticut are invited to attend an introductory meeting to learn more about a cultural engagement/process group we are calling Talk/About. We plan to meet on Wednesdays at 4-5:30p: March 9, 23, and April 6 at the Women's Center. 

    Talk/About takes after some of the features of the “Walkabout” – the historically Australian male Aboriginal/Indigenous rite of passage – with features of journeying together through conversation, not necessarily to arrive at a predetermined destination, but to pay close attention to the process we will be engaging in together. We hope you join us!

    Our Goals:

    • Get Beyond the Rhetoric
    • Question Assumptions
    • Listen for Silences

    This initiative is made possible by support from Counseling and Mental Health Services, Asian and Asian American Studies Institute, and Women’s Center.
