SUMMARY:Being in Good Relationship: Empathic Listening & Setting Boundaries in the Academic Workplace
DESCRIPTION:This in-person Mentoring Program Fund workshop will develop participants’ skills around reciprocal relationship building\, boundary setting\, active listening and holding space for sensitive disclosures and hard conversations. \nWe will begin by contextualizing these ideas within the institution of York University\, and explore what reciprocal relationships could look like within an environment that fosters competition and extractive modalities of relationality. Through interactive learning and discussion\, participants will put these ideas into practice and explore different scenarios and contradictions and how to navigate through them together. \nThe location will be HNE B10 (Health\, Nursing & Environmental Studies). \nThis event will take place Wednesday April 9\, 11:30AM-3PM\, including lunch and breaks. \nAccessibility information coming soon. \nRSVP here if you plan to attend!

SUMMARY:Navigating Racism and Sexism in the University Classroom
DESCRIPTION:University educators\, including teaching assistants and contract faculty\, are often subject to issues of racism and sexism in the classroom\, among other forms of discrimination and harassment. Recent and ongoing attacks on the humanities might further exacerbate the problem\, posing a serious threat to educators who integrate and take up equity and social justice in our curricular and pedagogical choices. \n  \nAs a part of the Mentoring Program Fund\, this session seeks to support CUPE 3903 members who are interested in developing pedagogical strategies and skills that create an inviting classroom environment while also learning how to navigate potential conflicts and even racist/sexist microaggressions that take form. It is to ask\, how might we intervene and respond to these instances and how do we promote critical exchange in times of crisis? \n  \nThis session will be facilitated by Dr. Gabrielle Moser. She is an art historian\, writer\, and independent curator. Dr. Moser is the author of Projecting Citizenship: Photography and Belonging in the British Empire (Penn State University Press\, 2019) and\, with Adrienne Huard\, co-edited a special issue of Journal of Visual Culture on reparation (2022). Moser is currently at work on her second book\, Citizen Subjects: Photography and Sovereignty in Post-War Canada (under contract with McGill-Queen’s University Press). A founding member of EMILIA-AMALIA\, she is an Associate Professor of Aesthetics and Art Education in the Faculty of Education at York University in Toronto\, Canada. \n  \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/9mtAsPMZQyWCWcGRTvRLHA \nIf you have questions\, please contact Shyam Patel\, Lead Steward Unit 3\, at cupe3903csu3@gmail.com. \nFor members who are joining in-person\, please note that the location will be the CUPE 3903 Office (143 Atkinson)\, and we will also be providing food and drinks.

SUMMARY:York United for Equity and Against Austerity: Open Forum
DESCRIPTION:If you’re afraid York’s programs and campus are being dismantled\, you’re not alone. The York administration appears to have abandoned its vision to provide “a broad sociodemographic of students with access to a high quality education” \, its mission to “explore global concerns”\, “encourage bilingual study”\, and its commitment to “social justice” and “collegial self-governance”.\n\nThe administration permits unsafe living and working conditions\, overpaying senior administrators rather than funding basic services for its students. There are also plans for increased securitization on campus\, such as through a special constables program. The York upper administration is all about restructuring. The York University Board of Governors is the most corporate dominated and least representative in the country. We say RESTRUCTURE THIS!\n\nJoin us to hear more about problems on campus–and have your say about what’s not working for you\, and what we need to make a better York!   Together we can push the administration to stop budget bullying through cutbacks\, while it spends millions on consultants and high priced lawyers. Let’s put into practice the University’s core value of Social Justice and Equity through critical insight\, creative problem solving\, and socially responsible action.\n\nMarch 5\, 3-5pm\n\n\nHNES 140\, next to the Second Student Centre and Ross South.\n\n\nAccessibility: the location is on the ground floor in an accessible building. There are two all-gender\, wheelchair accessible bathrooms. Refreshments will be served.\n\nA hybrid option is available at this link for those who cannot attend in person.\n\nFor more information\, please contact Zoë Newman\, 3903 Chairperson\, at cupe3903chairperson@gmail.com\n\nWhether you can attend or not\, you can still fill out the survey to help document concerns at York U!
