Mason DREAMers: Fostering Inclusion for Our Undocumented Students
No full textIn this session, become a part of our movement to create more inclusive environments for undocumented students through education and advocacy. Our undocumented students and supportive faculty will lead an interactive discussion on how to better organize, facilitate, educate, and lead on intersections of diversity, culture, history, and policy related to our undocumented populations within the George Mason University campus and community. Grounded in the understanding of critical pedagogy and Paulo Freire's notion of praxis (1970), the Mason DREAMers student organization leads annual events, UndocuAlly trainings, and community outreach initiatives to raise awareness and build critical understanding about the sociopolitical and educational climate of undocumented students and their families. Praxis that involves theory building through learning, action, and reflection is the basis of social transformation and is at the core of the Mason DREAMers mission. The group promotes this critical consciousness to reflect on the multidimensional identities and realities of undocumented students and then empowers participants to become change agents. This interactive session will discuss the praxis involved in being an advocate for undocumented students at George Mason University and will utilize this time and space to detail the concrete opportunities for advocacy and future action that is necessary to improve the social and educational lives of our students. http://www.masondreamers.org

Food System Leadership Institute: A Curricular Approach to Transforming Virginia's Food System
No full textCollaboratively designed by teams from the original quartet of 4VA universities (George Mason, James Madison, UVA, and Virginia Tech), the Food System Leadership Institute (FSLI) is a course for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. This multi-modal course is in development and will launch in the summer of 2018. Students from the 4VA universities will spend two weeks at the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation with intensive face-to-face instruction on sustainable food systems and leadership. They will then return to home campuses for embedded experiential learning placements in campus dining operations, working with dining personnel on projects aimed at increasing university sourcing of locally produced food. The course will culminate with a cohort reflection and presentation activity using tele-presence technology. This course is an outgrowth of the 4VA-funded Virginia Sustainable Food Coalition, whose mission is to harness the intellectual, human and economic capital of colleges and universities to foster the emerging local food economy in Virginia. In support of this mission, the course design and delivery will involve a wide variety of Virginia food system stakeholders, and course participants will gain experiences and make connections that assist their development as future food system leaders for the Commonwealth
