“What Does Safety Mean to You? Community Perspectives on Safety Speaker Series” curates a set of forums that explores the various meanings of safety. We will explore policies, practices, and attitudes within their historical and current contexts, affecting the University of Chicago campus and our surrounding communities. All voices and perspectives will be welcome and valued. 

The Trauma Interest Work Group (TIWG) promotes the scientific, interdisciplinary understanding of trauma; and works to improve equity and justice on the South Side of Chicago and beyond. We do this through education, scholarship, clinical care, community engagement, and advocacy.
This event is co-sponsored with the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, & Culture
