Steady Yourself Before the Election
Date: 10/26/20
Time: 4PM EDT
Length: 60 Minutes
Event Type: Virtual
Description
How do we steady ourselves before the election? We are stressed, worried, and sometimes frightened. We’re experiencing deep polarization in our country and we know that it doesn’t end after Election Day.
In addition to the election, we are still in a deep state of uncertainty with Covid, our economic situation, and addressing racial injustice. It is a challenge to keep ourselves steady, keep ourselves anchored, maintain optimism, and take care of our mental health.
Our guest: Professor Sam Cherribi (PhD, University of Amsterdam) and Senior Lecturer at Emery University in the Department of the Middle East and South Asian Studies.
Dr. Cherribi joins us offering his unique perspective as someone who has been working with very diverse groups of people on a global scale to build brideges and inspire cross-cultural collaborations.
Join us! As always, we’ve saved a seat for you!
