This program will focus on well-being philosophies and practices for students, faculty, and staff in environments that are hostile to academic freedom. Academics in the U.S. have been under increased pressure to conform to ideological agendas set by legislatures and appointed boards. The goal of this program is to address the well-being concerns of persons at risk from such attacks. As legislative pressure increases on all scholars, especially proponents of antiracism, DEIB, and international human rights in the United States, what can students, faculty, and staff do to stay healthy and protect against trauma, while preserving pedagogical and moral integrity?
