Queriendo Conexión (Wanting Connection)
About this Event
74 Lower College Rd, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI 02881, USA
https://urinvolved.uri.edu/event/10544096As we continue to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month, the Multicultural Student Services Center welcomes back alumnus (by way of Talent Development) Kevin Pajaro, 15'.
Kevin will be returning to campus for Queriendo Conexión (Wanting Connection): Exploring Masculinity, Vulnerability, and Relationships. Kevin will lead conversations on traditional ideas related to masculinity (assertive; competitive; providers; protectors; anti-feminine; violent; emotionless, etc.). He will lead dialogue about the unasked-for and often-impossible expectations of men and the internalized pain, shame, and frustration of trying to achieve those expectations. He will also be discussing how harmful notions of masculinity make it difficult for men to imagine that genuine connections centered on love, care, honesty, accountability, and vulnerability are possible for them. This session invites participants to hold intentional space for one another and be in dialogue about manhood.
It will also feature guest facilitators Dr. Lazaro Camacho Jr., (02', 06'), who serves as an assistant professor and program coordinator of URI's College Student Personnel Program; and Carlos Estrada-Rosa
This program is in collaboration w/ Brothers On a New Direction; the Dominican Alliance;the Latin Student Association; the Muslim Student Association; and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. We hope you can join us.
