SUMMARY:The First Black Archaeologist: John Wesley Gilbert

Gilbert’s contributions include his 1891 Master’s thesis\, “The Demes of Attica\,” and his pioneering role as the first Black faculty member at Paine College\, where he taught Greek and Latin.\nIn this special discussion\, Professor Lee offers unique insights into the life of this extraordinary scholar and Philhellene. Don’t miss this important exploration. \nAbout John W.I. Lee:\nJohn W.I. Lee is a Professor of History at UC Santa Barbara. With a background shaped by Asia and Hawai’i\, he holds a PhD in History from Cornell University.

SUMMARY:Community Insights: Awareness and Well-Being in the South Asian Community
DESCRIPTION:In South Asian communities\, mental health issues are often swept under the rug. Because it is culturally stigmatizing to talk about one’s feelings\, some people are denied or have no access to mental health resources. \nNumerous studies have shown that South Asian immigrants experience high rates of mental health problems\, sometimes higher than their peers and the lack of access has serious consequences. \nIn an effort to break the taboo and start a healthy conversation about mental health among South Asian communities\, South Asia Institute has organized “Community Insights: Awareness and Well-Being in the South Asian Community” on Saturday\, March 2\, 2024. \nJoin us for this insightful event led by Rohit Agrawal\, PsyD of Center Focused Therapy\, where we will highlight the intersections of culture and well-being\, and also address the stigma of mental health in South Asian families. \nCommunity-based and personal resources will be provided to participants so that more members of the South Asian community can benefit. \nEvent Details: \nFREE WITH RSVP \nWHEN: Saturday\, March 2\, 2024 | 3:00 pm start / 2:30 pm doors \nWHERE: 1925 South Michigan Ave\, Chicago\, Il\, 60616
