CGIS Briefs: Winter 2022

Designed to be 20-30 minutes in length, the CGIS Brief was created to give CGIS staff and prospective study abroad students an opportunity to have a conversation on various topics as a way to encourage students to start thinking more about their time abroad prior to departure. Topics vary from session to session. View our past briefs on lsa.umich.edu/cgis.

We encourage everyone to ask questions throughout the conversation or share out any insight of their own. Each event is co-facilitated by the CGIS Brief Team (Ashton, Callie and Stephen) every 3rd Thursday of the month at 3:00pm EST on Zoom!

Event Accommodations:

Do you need any accommodations that we should know about (disability, dietary needs, etc.)? We encourage you to share this information with us as early as possible, so we can put in place any reasonable accommodations. Please contact the CGIS Accommodations email (CGISaccommodations@umich.edu) to submit an accommodations request.

We all come back from study abroad with stories to share, and our stories can provide new and unknown information to our friends and family back home. However, how do we make sure we aren’t perpetuating negative stereotypes about a culture or telling someone’s story without their permission? This session will provide tips on ethical photography and writing and how to examine your bias in storytelling.
