We are a group of scholars focusing on changing systems to support people instead of changing people to survive systems.
We have designed four symposia and a workshop to address this goal in the context of different BCCE themes. Below is a one-sentence description of what each workshop addresses, who we encourage to apply to, who we encourage to attend, and a link to the more detailed description.
