Professor Teresa Healy’s Workshop May 28-30
As a long-time activist in the Canadian labour movement, Teresa Healy knows how hard activists work—and how rare it is that they have a moment to stop and reflect. hat need motivated her to create the upcoming workshop, “Policy Advocacy and Social Change”, which will run from May 28–30 as part of the FPA Professional Institute. “Community advocates often find themselves overworked and constantly bombarded with short term decision-making and thinking,” said Healy, an associate professor at SIT Graduate Institute in Brattleboro, Vermont and an adjunct research professor in Ӱԭ’s Institute of Political Economy. “This will be a chance for activists to come together and realize they aren’t alone: all of these organizations are dealing with the same issues.” .
