Mirror Memoirs is an oral history project centering the narratives and leadership of LGBTQ survivors of color in the movement to end child sexual abuse (CSA). Founded by Amita Swadhin,
Mirror Memoirs uses storytelling and survivor leadership to illuminate the needs and wisdom of survivors at these vulnerable intersections. During 2016 and 2017, Amita traveled across the continental US and conducted 60 oral history interviews with LGBTQ adults
of color who are child sexual abuse survivors. Professor Treva Ellison in WGSS and Geography is working with Amita as an academic consultant to create a report that will disseminate the major themes and insights from the oral histories.
We are looking for 3 Dartmouth students who feel passionately about this topic and are interested in or have experience with qualitative data analysis to help us code the interviews during the week of September 17, 2018. Dartmouth student coders will join 6
of the contributors to the oral history archive for a Collective Code-a-thon, which will consist of 5 daily coding sessions from 9am to noon and 1pm to 5pm. Three meals in the dining hall for each of the 5 days of coding and a stipend of $1000 will be provided
to each Dartmouth student coder.

The Youth Forum on Race and Racism is interactive, youth-led, and youth-focused with a goal of developing an awareness and understanding about ways to continue changing the narrative around
race and racism in New Hampshire and to achieve racial equity in our local communities statewide. At this Youth Forum, you will be challenged to analyze power structures that impede upon social equity in preparation to be effective social justice organizers
and change-makers. The multiracial team of high school and college age youth and grassroots community organizers, trainers, and facilitators includes people with anti-racist and equity organizing experience. The
Youth Forum is for high school juniors and seniors, community college, and four-year university students of color and white students. Youth Forum participants will:
Develop a common working definition of racism and an understanding of its different forms, including individual, institutional, linguistic, and cultural.
Develop a common language for examining racism in New Hampshire communities.
Understand one’s own connection to institutional racism and its impact on their community work.
Understand why the role of institutions in exacerbating institutional racism for communities of color and how all of us, including white folk, are adversely impacted by racism
every day, everywhere.
Address surface assumptions about how your work is (or is not) affected by racism.
Gain knowledge about how to be more effective in your work with organizations, communities, and families.
Understand the role of community organizing and building effective multiracial coalitions to achieve racial equity in New Hampshire.
Registration is free and required. The registration
deadline is Saturday, October 6, 2018, two weeks in advance of the forum, which takes place on Saturday, October 20 from 9 a.m.

Greetings!
I wanted you to be among the first to know about our new Aerial Yoga programming this fall at Open Door Integrative Wellness in downtown WRJ. Beginner friendly classes are now open to the public, and we'd love to have you and your department/students join us.
We are also able to schedule private classes--a wonderful team building activity for your department, house, or LLC!
VaihAyasa Aerial Yoga
Instructor: Lisa Varno, RYT, MMEd. Location: Open Door Integrative Wellness, 26 N Main Street, WRJ Cost: $20 Register: lisavarno.com/aerialyoga (Pre-registration
is required due to limited class size.) Classes:
Tuesday/Thursday 10:00-11:00 am
Friday 5:30-6:30 pm
Sunday 7:00-8:00 pm (excluding first Sunday of the month), this is a very gentle, meditative class
VaihAyasa is Sanskrit for “being or moving in the air, suspended in the air, sky-dwellers.”
An appropriate name for this style of Aerial Yoga that combines the fun of other playful acrobatic aerial, with the grounding and alignment-centered details of more yogic aerial.
Using the support of a silk hammock, sink into your practice, deepen stretches, find proper alignment naturally, and reap the benefits of inversions without strain on the joints of the body (deeper stretches and inversions are entirely optional). No
aerial, acrobatic, dance, or yoga experience required.
