Remember that time I gushed about what an amazing conference Meeting of the Minds is? WELL NOW YOU CAN SHARE IN THE JOY.
MoM has posted all the presentations and outlines from each speaker on their website. Definitely look at Alan Berkowitz's stuff, but there is a lot of great material there. You might even find some particularly well crafted outlines on the topics of LGBTQ Suicide Prevention and the intersectsions of Mental Health, Alcohol, and Tobacco.

If you are a peer educator, or any of their covered topics are something you are interested in, I definitely reccomend attending next sping.

7/16 Peer Education
Peer Education
Thursday July 16th, 7pm, Ellis Library 3G61
1. How do we strike a balance between “reaching people where they are”, providing the necessary level of education, and integrating social justice?
2. Does the addition of social justice concepts automatically turn people off to a topic?
3. Where is the line between directly offensive material and tacit support of injustice by failure to address an issue? Are both equally damaging?
4. What obligation does the Wellness Resource Center and Summer Welcome have to providing information in a social responsible way?
5. Does schmoozing increase one's ability to effect social change by reaching a larger audience, or does the compromise of values weaken the overall message?
Theory of Peer Education (pdf)
Wellness Resource Center (Look at Theoretical Approaches)
Social Norms Approach
1.How might social norm approaches apply to minority communities? If someone is already outside the “norm”, would this approach be as effective?
Unicef Peer Education
Situational Leadership
Social Justice Math
Sexual Assault Green Dot Program
1.What are the pros and cons of this approach in terms of effectiveness on both an individual level and a societal level?

Summer Welcome Revue and Skits
Our July 16th topic is about integrating social justice in an educational setting, with a focus on peer education. We're going to use Summer Welcome as a case study. It would be great if everyone could attend either Revue or the Wellness Skits before that meeting. They both go until July 8th. When watching these, keep in mind that the intended audience is incoming freshmen.
Revue: Sunday-Thursday, 8pm in Jesse Aud – Mainly entertainment, but they also share a little about Mizzou traditions and campus life. Put on by the Summer Welcome Leaders.
Wellness Skits: Sunday-Thursday 1pm in Conservation Aud - Intended to be educational, focusing on wellness issues (alcohol, tobacco, body image, etc). Put on by campus peer educator groups.
Social Justice is not the primary goal of either, but both include things that are positive and problematic from a social justice stand point.
Things to think about while watching Revue or Skits:
1. Do they achieve their primary goal (education on campus life or wellness)?
2. How effective are they at keeping the attention of the audience? How effective are they at communicating the information in an engaging way?
3. For those of you who have seen revue/skits in the past, what changes have you noticed?
4. What stood out a positive step towards social justice? What was problematic?
5. What effect do you think skits or revue would have on the incoming freshmen who attended summer welcome?
