Systems help artists, scientists, researchers, and scholars across disciplines organize their thoughts and the world around them—categorizing and sorting both concrete objects and abstract concepts. From symbolic languages to ethnography, from environmental surveying to the writing of Black history, how can visual art highlight different facets of this interdisciplinary approach?

In this workshop, Dr. Nelson will focus on the process of career change and the significance of fostering a sense of relatability while mentoring. Dr. Nelson will also expound upon his own personal development of growing beyond fastened labels or life tracks, thus allowing attendees to expound their professional development beyond their own constructed labels in order to manifest their own destinies. Lastly, the workshop will highlight the importance of being exposed to other cultures as this can foster further development through questioning our own way of thinking

Black burnout is an epidemic that has yet to be remedied. Black students, faculty, and staff are often asked to take on the burden of educating their peers, advocating for the next generation, and are looked at as the voices of an entire community. How can we work to ensure that Black students, faculty, and staff prioritize themselves and prevent burnout?

Lead Sessionist: MiChaela Barker (MPH/MBA candidate)
