1. Comparing different models and philosophies of time management;
2. Inquiring which time management models best nurture and support you in diverse activities and seasons of your life;
3. Considering which communities, beings, places, and activities help you clarify and advance your vision.
To accomplish these fabulous outcomes, Dr. Jacob shares lessons from Yakama storytelling traditions, including:
a) Learning how to be “Smart as a Log”;
b) Engaging the distinction between being “in time” vs. “on time”;
c) Celebrating failure as a generous teacher.
Your participation in this webinar will be a fabulous opportunity to consider and learn from Indigenous teaching and learning methods. Everyone who lives, works, and studies in Indigenous homelands will carry a lesson they can use in their wonderful lives. Centering Indigenous teachings is an important part of justice-based education practice.

Day With(out) Art 2022: “BEING & BELONGING”
The program features newly commissioned work by Camila Arce (Argentina), Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes (USA), Jaewon Kim (South Korea), Clifford Prince King (USA), Santiago Lemus and Camilo Acosta Huntertexas (Colombia), Mikiki (Canada), and Jhoel Zempoalteca and La Jerry (México).
From navigating sex and intimacy to confronting stigma and isolation, “Being & Belonging” centers the emotional realities of living with HIV today. How does living with HIV shift the ways that a person experiences, asks for, or provides love, support, and belonging? The seven videos are a call for belonging from those that have been stigmatized within their communities or left out of mainstream HIV/AIDS narratives.
The free, hour-long, looped program will be presented in Sheldon’s Ethel S. Abbott Auditorium during open hours December 1 (10 am-4 pm) and December 2 (10 am-7 pm). Information and resources from the Nebraska AIDS Project, University Health Center, and the LGBTQA+ Center will also be available.
Visual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over.
