Join the Peace & Justice Center, Thursday, May 19th from 6-7pm for a conversation with An Na about her book "The Fold". Printz Award–winning author Na has created a surprisingly funny and thought-provoking look at notions of beauty, who sets the standards and how they affect us all. Following Joyce, a Korean teen dealing with societal pressures and beauty standards, this book is sure to spark heated discussions about the beauty myths readers confront in their own lives.

Trauma-informed education and equity in education are often seen as two different initiatives. In reality, educational equity reduces the presence of trauma, and trauma-informed practice can help foster equity. In Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Education, Alex Shevrin Venet explores the myriad connections and intersections between equity and trauma-informed education, and propose principles for educators who want to make this integrated approach the heart of their practice.
