LION hosting trauma writing workshop

The Learning Inside Out Network is hosting an event on Saturday, March 26 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., “Writing Resilience: Making Meaning of the Bounce Back from Trauma.” The free event will be led by local creative writer and teacher Tiumaluali’i Jody Hassel, a licensed trainer and supervisor of the Trauma Center Trauma-Senstive Yoga at the Center for Trauma and Embodiment, Justice Resource Institute.

Those interested in attending can register for the event here. For more information, contact Professor Sarah Stanley at sstanley2@alaska.edu.

LION has also released its March newsletter, which includes announcements of progress in LION-supported legislation, a virtual writing event, and a call for enrollment in Get-By. 

Stanley, an associate professor in the Department of English, and Hassel, an adjunct instructor of English, helped push LION forward and continue to run workshops and meetings. LION's main objectives are to increase access to higher education and collaborative learning in Alaska state prisons, and to connect university students and instructors with the incarcerated.
