Join us for a fun and creative writing workshop with a focus on poetry and the environment led by poet Mara Pastor! This event is sponsored by the Department of Languages, Literatures, and International Studies, the English Department, NMU Honors Program, and the College of Arts & Sciences. 

Dr. Mara Pastor is the author of six full-length poetry books in Spanish, as well as two bilingual chapbooks. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and is currently a professor and the Academic Leader of The Creative Writing Program and Literature Program at the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in San Juan. Her book Deuda Natal (The University of Arizona Press, 2021, translated by María José Giménez and Anna Rosenwong) won the 2020 Ambroggio Award from the Academy of American Poets. Deuda Natal takes us from the aftermath of Hurricane María in Puerto Rico to the communal efforts to rebuild, reconnect, and imagine ways to fight “disaster capitalism” (Naomi Klein, 2018). It contains reflections on immigration, returns, debt, feminism, colonialism, and ecological devastation while guiding us toward grassroots and intimate alternatives.

This workshop encourages participants to rethink conflict and to become involved in civil discourse with people outside of their own social and political circles. By practicing respectful conversation, even when there is disagreement, people are more likely to identify common ground and to come to a deeper understanding of others' perspectives. We will learn about the psychology of attitude change and persuasion, and learn some techniques to engage in conversations with people with whom we may not agree. 

This event is part of Environmental Action Week.

The OER Working Group invites you to our first event of the Fall 2025. Anyone who is interested in Open Education Resources (OER), Open Access (OA), or Open Pedagogy should attend because these concepts are foundational to all of these efforts. 

Bring your lunch and learn more about copyright in Higher Education. This workshop is designed for faculty and graduate students who want to know more about how copyright shapes teaching and research, and how open licensing, such as those provided by Creative Commons, can support the sharing of ideas and information.

Emera Bridger Wilson (Librarian) and Tom Gillespie (Senior Instructional Technologist) will introduce the benefits and limitations of all rights reserved copyright, how open licensing works with copyright, and facilitate activities to teach participants how to select the correct Creative Common licenses for their teaching and research.
