The Adler School's LGBTQ Mental Health and Inclusion Center in affiliation with Affinity presents Cruel & Unusual.

Cruel & Usual is a 64 minute documentary focusing on the experiences of transgender women who are placed in all-male prison facilities that still prescribe to a genital-based classification system. Transgender inmates are often prevented from accessing hormones while incarcerated, frequently harassed and assaulted by prison inmates and employees, and placed in “protective custody” (solitary confinement) and cut off from all human contact, supposedly for their own protection. The documentary explores the ways in which transgender female prisoners are forced to survive in order to maintain their right to gender self-determination while in such hostile environments, and their incredible resilience.

Interested in participating in the first ever World Café Conference at Adler? We are currently looking for students to help facilitate round-table discussions around key questions in the professional world. 

What does this mean exactly? The World Café model revolves around a central idea: communication solves problems. Given the opportunity to discuss key, powerful questions, leaders find solutions through communicating with others. The World Café model provides participants the opportunity to discuss these issues in a round-table format.

As a student leader, you will help keep the conversation rolling, guide participants through the discussion, and summarize what has been discussed. Not sure if you can do this, but ready to try? One critical competency in leadership is dealing with ambiguity. If you step outside of your comfort zone, you will be training yourself in leadership.
