Celebrating Us: Centering Joy in our Silver Community is a reimagination of our annual Student Awards and a chance to celebrate community, each other, and our collective accomplishments as another school year comes to close. Throughout the year, students demonstrated Silver spirit, leadership, and citizenship by facilitating peer support groups and organizing mutual aid in their community -- all in the midst of experiencing grief, loss, and isolation during this global pandemic.
This is an event for you, by you. The Showcase at Celebrating Us is an opportunity to share your story of this year through the things that matter most to you as a social worker and as a person. Share any and all passions with us!
Learn more + submit for the Silver Showcase here by April 15th.

The global reach of the Black Lives Matter movement has spurred reflection on race, racism, and anti-Blackness around the world. Too often, though, they are seen as uniquely US American phenomena. This panel brings together four scholars of race as it plays out in Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East and North Africa for a conversation moderated by Prof. Ann Morning, Academic Director.

Thuy Linh Nguyen Tu’s (NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis) Experiments in Skin: Race and Beauty in the Shadows of Vietnam (Duke University Press, 2021) examines the afterlife of the Vietnam War, and its continued impact on our understanding of race and beauty. By framing skin as a material and metaphorical site on which these ideas have been formed, Tu advances a theory of aesthetics and politics for understanding colonial modernity and the lives lived in its shadows. In particular, Tu foregrounds the histories of US militarism, biomedical investigations, chemical warfare, and the bodies of African American soldiers and prisoners, as well Vietnamese civilians who were the subjects of research and remediation. Matthew Frye Jacobson (Yale University) writes, “Tu renders extraordinary insight into the tightly entwined histories of militarized technology and a rising beauty culture, giving name to whole new territories for analysis.”
After a presentation from Tu, Anne Cheng (Princeton University), Avery Gordon (Emerita, University of California Santa Barbara), lĂŞ thi diem thĂşy (Hampshire College), and Chandan Reddy (University of Washington) will participate in a roundtable.
