Join us on Zoom for a week-long virtual celebration of writers from across the globe. This year's Writers' Week will focus on anti-racism and writing as a form of community building. These interactive events will feature a panel discussion, resume/cover letter workshop, poetry workshop, performance art workshop, a creative nonfiction workshop, and One Week, One Goal.

Calling all Boston writing enthusiasts, activists, residents, entrepreneurs, local groups and networks, non-profit organizations, professionals, scholars and youth: please join us for a unique kick-off mixer to connect the Boston's writing community and celebrate the power of words.

Please join your CSSH colleagues as they share experiences with pivoting their research during challenging situations prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and also hold a discussion about what is possible now.

The panelists are:

• Alisa K. Lincoln, Associate Dean of Research; Professor of Sociology and Health Sciences
• Daniel Aldrich, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy and Urban Affairs
• Elizabeth Bucar, Professor of Religious Studies

Each speaker will share the challenges they have faced, strategies they have used to address these challenges, and what they have learned along the way. Following brief presentations, we will open the floor for questions and a discussion of lessons learned from efforts to pivot research.
Open to CSSH faculty, doctoral students, and staff.

BARI's annual conference is a unique forum for greater Boston's civic data ecosystem-spanning the public sector, private sector, non-profits, community leaders, and academia-to explore how data and technology can be used to better understand and serve our communities. "Smart cities" should be about more than just efficiency and fancy new tools; it is about partnering across institutions and communities to collaboratively transform all of our cities and towns into the places we want them to be.
