SUMMARY:Lighting the Future: Refugee Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Register for the event here.  \n\n\n\n“Lighting the Future” features different speakers from different backgrounds who all speak on a common theme: the refugee experience. Inspired by our executive director’s stories about her own journey as a refugee\, the series aims to shed light on refugee experiences and narratives across an array of mediums\, from art to academia and more. \n\n\n\nThe stories of refugee women are those of bravery\, resiliency\, and courage. Having navigated hardships while adjusting to life in a new country\, they offer an essential perspective on what it means to embrace identity and perservere above difficulties. Refugee women are vital leaders\, lawmakers\, entrepreneurs and thinkers in our society. Though their voices oftentimes go unheard\, the Speaker Series aims to highlight those such empowering figures in our communities. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we speak with Miss Arab USA 2022\, Marwa Lahlou and Basma Alawee\, Executive Director of WeaveTales. \n\n\n\nOriginally born in Morocco\, Lahlou moved to the United States at the age of ten. As the only Arab in her high school\, she faced severe discrimination for her background. However\, in connecting directly with her community\, she discovered the beauty in her culture and its inherent unity. Since then\, Lahlou has committed herself to promoting an understanding and acceptance of Arab culture\, taking on several initiatives to that end. One such program led her across several Connecticut schools to share the values of Arab culture. She went on to gain her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Sciences\, graduating Magna Cum Laude\, and received an MBA in International Business Management and Marketing with high honors at the University of New Haven. \n\n\n\nAs a refugee from Iraq\, Basma Alawee has worked towards advocating for refugee voices and rights throughout the world. She aims to unite refugee and immigrant communities in order to expand conversations surrounding their well-being as well as to build collective understanding. To that end\, Alawee founded WeaveTales in 2019 to develop programs to help refugees use the mediums of writing and storytelling to share their lived experiences. Additionally\, she works as the National Campaign Director for We Are All America and National Partnership of New Americans. Alawee’s ultimate goal is to build inclusivity and acceptance in the national narrative surrounding refugees and Muslims.

SUMMARY:Global Migration and Youth Leadership in the Pursuit of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:According to the UNHCR\, 89.3 million people around the world were forced to flee their homes as a result of persecution\, conflict or violence in 2021. That figure reached 103 million in mid-2022. Among them are nearly 27.1 million refugees\, around half of whom are under the age of 18. While these young people require support\, they are also uniquely capable of effective change and leadership of mobilizing civic engagement in their home communities and in the world. Yet\, the odds often seem to be stacked against them. What can be done about this? This panel tries to piece together a framework for the role of youth leadership in systemic change. By using three countries—Afghanistan\, Belarus\, Myanmar—as case studies\, the panelists representing these countries will address the challenges and opportunities of the generation that will be leading important changes to achieve the freedom for their countries.  \n\n\n\nAn accompanying reception with food and refreshments will follow the panel to give students an opportunity to engage with the panelists.  \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP here. \n\n\n\nPanelists \n\n\n\nMANASI SUBRAMANIAM: Editor-in-Chief\, Penguin Random House India (Yale World Fellow 2022)  \n\n\n\nMINAMI TSUBOUCHI: Founder\, BEYOND Tomorrow (Yale World Fellow 2022)  \n\n\n\nMOHAMMAD “MUSA” MAHMODI (Afghanistan): Human Rights Lawyer (Yale World Fellow 2020)  \n\n\n\nANDREI KUREICHIK (Belarus): Playwright\, director\, and civil activist (Yale World Fellow 2022)  \n\n\n\nDAVID MOE (Myanmar): Postdoctoral Associate\, Southeast Asian Studies\, Yale University

SUMMARY:The Charitable Impulse: Philanthropic Values from the 18th Century to Today
DESCRIPTION:Register here.  \n\n\n\nIn the eighteenth century\, charitable acts and societies in England and the American colonies were motivated by an understanding of moral and ethical obligations of the “better off” to do good works on behalf of the “needy.” Philanthropic organizations from this time reveal historical attitudes toward the benefit to the individual and the public of charitable activities.This panel will explore how views on privilege\, agency\, status\, and the responsibilities of members of society to others have evolved over time\, and the ways in which certain implicit understandings of why and how people should care for others remain unchanged. \n\n\n\nThis conversation is jointly organized by the Lewis Walpole Library\, Yale University\, and Dwight Hall at Yale: Center for Public Service and Social Justice\, in conjunction with the exhibition “Knight Errant of the Distressed: Horace Walpole and Philanthropy in Eighteenth Century London\,” curated by Dr. Andrew Rudd\, Senior Lecturer\, English Department\, University of Exeter. \n\n\n\nGuests are required to comply with the University’s Visitor Policy as stated here: https://covid19.yale.edu/visitors-policy.

SUMMARY:Eco-Feminist and Womanist Activism: Your Story as a Source
DESCRIPTION:How does your story inform your activism? This workshop will explore the ways eco-feminist/womanist praxes center story\, song\, and cultural knowledge as origins and sources for scholarship\, activism\, and community organizing. This workshop will have three sections: \n\n\n\nStory as Source – the presenter will share their own story through poetry and spoken wordStory as Craft – how does your story and social location inform what you see and support?Story as Communal Praxis – we will close with time to share our narratives with one another.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by the Dwight Hall Magee Fellowship.  We will provide coffee\, tea\, and snacks for this convening! \n\n\n\n“Beloved\, to day you eat… \n\n\n\nToday you walk\, \n\n\n\ntoday you read\, today you paint\, my love.” – The Black Maria Aracelis Girmay \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaley Casenhiser is a first-year candidate for Dual Master’s Degrees from Yale Divinity School and Yale School of the Environment. A liberation theo-ethicist\, scholar-activist\, performance artist\, and chaplain in a time of climate crisis\, her work is rooted in womanist-feminist ethics and praxis. Her research specializes in the intersectionalities and interstices of environmental racism\, sexual ethics\, and land sovereignty\, and centers the lived experiences and narratives of women\, queer and non-binary persons\, and the land itself as sources of moral wisdom. Her work counter-maps hetero-normative\, racialized geographies and epistemologies and using CPAR (critical participatory action research) to explore the contours of land justice pathways on church-owned lands through reparations\, rematriation\, and regeneration. On the weekends\, Kaley can be found cantoring for Jazz Eucharist at St. Paul’s & St. James’s Episcopal Church in Wooster Square\, baking sourdough bread\, rehearsing at the Landscape Lab for “This Place is a Message\,” snuggling with her tabby\, Ari\, or reading poetry\, most recently\, Kingdom Animalia by Aracelis Girmay.

That program\, involving college athletic teams organizing drives on their campuses\, has resulted in more than 800 life-saving transplants. Larry Ciotti\, long-time assistant football coach at Yale\, is a friend of Talley’s and brought the idea to Yale. \n\n\n\nTalley has partnered with Be The Match® to take his efforts to the national level. He has received commitments from 160 college football programs. The Yale athletic department has held drives each of the past 13 springs\, ever since Mandi was first diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in December of 2008. Yale’s record-setting drives have added nearly 8\,000 potential donors to the Be The Match Registry®\, and more than 80 life-saving donor matches for patients in need have been located through the Bulldogs’ efforts. \n\n\n\nYale’s drives were led by the football team and women’s ice hockey team each of the first two years. In 2011\, the field hockey team began assisting. In 2018 the men’s soccer team joined these efforts. This year\, the Yale volleyball team has joined as well. Members of these teams help spread the word about the need for donors to their classmates\, friends and relatives. \n\n\n\nMandi’s story has been one of the driving forces behind the success of the Yale drives. In September 2010 she required a blood stem cell transplant that was designed to give her a new immune system using two anonymously donated units of umbilical cord blood. A biopsy in December 2010 indicated that she had relapsed\, and she passed away at home in Saskatchewan on Apr. 3\, 2011. \n\n\n\nMandi’s plight shed further light on the needs of cancer patients everywhere\, and the value of marrow donation. Every year\, thousands of people of all ages are diagnosed with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases. Many of them will pass away unless they get a marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant from a matching donor. Seventy percent of these patients do not have a fully matched donor in their family and depend on the Be The Match Registry® to find a genetic match to save their life. \n\n\n\nTo join the Be The Match Registry®\, an individual must be between the ages of 18 and 40\, meet certain health guidelines and be willing to donate to any patient in need. The donor test consists of simple cheek swabs and will only take approximately 15 minutes. \n\n\n\nThose who registered at previous drives are already in the Be The Match Registry®\, so there is no need for them to be registered again. Yale is seeking to add as many NEW potential donors as possible. \n\n\n\nThose interested in helping with the Mandi Schwartz Marrow Donor Registration Drive at Yale can contact Larry Ciotti with the Yale football team at larry.ciotti@yale.edu. \n\n\n\nMore information on Mandi \n\n\n\nBe The Match Registry®: \n\n\n\nBe The Match Registry® WebsiteMyths and facts about marrow donationMedical Guidelines for Potential Donors
