Leveraging the Neuroscience of Now: Toward Healing & Recovery
In this session, we will reflect on the past year and imagine what moving forward will be. We interrogate the notions of safety, connections, and care. We will examine the neuroscience of hope and how we can reignite our relationship with hope and impart it to our students and colleagues.
Please read Dr. Mays Imad’s article from Inside Higher Ed: Hope Still Matters: How Faculty Can Impart Hope to Students When Feeling Hope-Depleted Themselves.
