SUMMARY:Holding the Center at the Confluence of Crises
DESCRIPTION:Holding the Center at the Confluence of Crises: Understanding and Deploying a “Root Shock”-Informed Approach \nCourse Dates \nMonday\, July 28\, August 4\, 11 and 18\n6pm-7pm via zoom \nOptional in-person “sorted-out city” walking tour of Orange\, NJ\nSaturday\, August 9th at 10am \nCourse Description \nWe are in a confluence of crises: rapid shifts of climate\, attacks on our democracy\, and disregard for the sacredness of all life. At the University of Orange\, a 17-year old people’s free school based in Orange NJ\, we have learned that “holding the center” requires three things: understanding how we got to this point; deploying strategies that support community recovery; and re-building political power rooted in place. This course will explore these three tasks through the lens of the work of the Cities Research Group (CRG)\, led by Drs Bob and Mindy Fullilove. \nFor four decades CRG has conducted groundbreaking research on the forces that caused catastrophic community upheaval\, leading to multiple health epidemics and destroying economic\, social\, political and cultural capital. To describe the vast extent of the harm\, Dr. Mindy Fullilove proposed the term “root shock\,” a phrase gardeners use to describe what happens to a plant whose roots have been torn in the process of the transplantation. She defined it as “the traumatic stress reaction to the loss of all or part of one’s emotional ecosystem.” We believe we are all experiencing some form of root shock right now. With this understanding of root shock\, CRG also identified and practiced collective strategies for community recovery which rebuilds the connective tissue necessary for democracy and people’s power. \nParticipants will engage with useful resources and tools that they can immediately incorporate into navigating the current crises with their own networks and communities. We will host an optional “sorted out city” walking tour in Orange\, NJ on Saturday\, August 9 at 10am and share a walking guide so participants can DIY in their own place. \nCRG is now housed at the University of Orange under the direction of Dr. Mindy Fullilove\, who holds the Helen & Robert E. Fullilove Chair of Community Health at UofO. \nRegister HERE for “Holding the Center at the Confluence of Crises” \n  \nOur Instructors \nDr. Robert E. Fullilove\, III\, is a professor of sociomedical sciences at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. He got his start in community organizing in 1964\, working with the SNCC “Freedom Summer” project. Since 2010\, he has been teaching public health courses in six New York State prisons that are part of the Bard College Prison Initiative (BPI) and serves as the Senior Advisor to BPI’s public health program. \nDr. Mindy Fullilove is the Helen and Robert Fullilove Professor of Community Health at the University of Orange and Professor Emeritus at the New School University. She is a social psychiatrist who studies urban problems and their solutions. \nMolly Rose Kaufman is a co-founder and director of the University of Orange. She is a graduate of the Columbia University School of Journalism\, with training in urbanism from the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers\, Paris\, France. She uses her grounding in urbanism to develop free education for democracy. \n  \nTestimonials for our previous course\, “Managing Shock and Awe” \nI deeply appreciate the work Dr. Fullilove and the University of Orange team did in designing the sessions and curating the content because\, as with all their work\, the experience was phenomenal (both live and recorded). Through each weekly session I was grounded in examples\, quotes\, anecdotes\, and stories connected to that week’s theme\, which I was able to tie back to my own work and personal life. I have found myself re-listening to the sessions\, coming back to the readings\, and reflecting on the activities long after the course ended. I will consider this course as a resource especially now\, when building belonging and coalitions is critical for the work ahead. \n-Katherine Wright\, The Rippel Foundation \nI thought this course was very grounding and nice for the current political climate that is really overwhelming. It was nice to know that this was happening every week. \n-Priscilla P\, class participant \nThis was extremely accessible. I learned a lot and I really enjoyed the blend of New Jersey people’s history and the provided frameworks\, ways of thinking for how we can move forward in this moment\, and many more moments to come. Thank you so much. I feel more activated than I did before. \n-Natalie T\, class participant \n  \nAbout the Fullilove Chair of Community Health  \nThe University of Orange established the Helen and Robert Fullilove Chair of Community Health in 2025. Dr. Mindy Fullilove is the holder of the chair. She will lead community courses\, as well relevant research in root shock. She introduced the concept of root shock in 2001\, and her book\, Root Shock: How Tearing Up City Neighborhoods Hurts America and What To Do About It\, was published in 2004. UofO led an observance of the 20th anniversary of the book’s publication\, which included editing a special issue of the journal\, Built Environment\, holding a symposium\, and preparing an exhibit on root shock for the Orange Public Library. \nRegister HERE for “Holding the Center at the Confluence of Crises” \n  \nCourse Fees \nAll are welcome to take our course for free! All contributions support the ongoing work of our people’s free university. If you are able\, we ask you to please consider registering at a paid level. \n$300 (full cost of class per person) \n$150 (supporter rate) \n$75 (solidarity rate) \nOTHER amount (donation of any amount appreciated) \nFREE (no one turned away for lack of funds NOTAFLOF)  \n  \nCan your institution sponsor your team to come?

SUMMARY:Getting to Know Korean Drama Through Korean Culture
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, August 12 + 19th\n6pm-7pm ET on Zoom \nRegister online HERE \nWhat makes Korean dramas so powerful — and so relatable\, even across cultures? \nJoin Dr. Lee and Ms. Kim for two engaging sessions as we explore how Korean history\, culture\, and especially family values are at the heart of K-drama storytelling. \nPart 1: Korean History & Cultural Roots Behind K-Dramas \nWhat You’ll Learn: \n• How key cultural values like collectivism\, familism\, jeong (정)\, and nunchi (눈치) shape interpersonal dynamics in Korean life and K-dramas \n• Why these values continue to influence modern Korean society — especially within families\, workplaces\, and schools \n• Watch three carefully selected K-drama clips that vividly portray these concepts in action \n• Live panel discussion: Dr. Lee and Ms. Kim will unpack how these traditions are preserved\, adapted\, or challenged in contemporary Korea \n  \nSpeaker Highlights: \n• Dr. Lee will explain how Korea’s rapid historical transitions (colonization\, war\, economic boom) have embedded certain emotional codes into storytelling — especially the idea of family as both a comfort and a source of conflict. \n• Ms. Kim will bring a real-world perspective on how these cultural values are taught\, lived\, and sometimes misunderstood — based on her experience in both education and the civil service. \nPart 2: Why the World Loves K-Dramas \nTopics We’ll Cover: \n• Why family-centered stories in K-dramas emotionally resonate with viewers worldwide — and how they differ from Western portrayals \n• How K-dramas challenge traditional norms like gender roles\, class hierarchy\, and generational tensions — while still honoring cultural identity \n• How Korean dramas blend traditional values with modern and Western influences to create storytelling that feels both local and universal \n• An open group discussion on how global audiences interpret K-dramas\, and what that tells us about cross-cultural empathy \nTeachers: \nDr. Isabel S. Lee – Assistant Professor at Salem State University School of Social Work. A former community social worker in the Korean American community turned social work scholar\, Dr. Lee focuses on global social work education and practice. \nMs. Eunjeong Kim – Former Korean language teacher in Korea with Korean national educator certification. Now serving as an IRS officer\, Ms. Kim brings deep\, real-world insight into how cultural norms shape Korean society\, from both educational and bureaucratic perspectives. \n  \nRegister online HERE \n

SUMMARY:What's the Story? Memoir Writing Class - Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:10-week virtual memoir class offered by UofO\, taught by developmental editor Susan Hasho \nThe class is held on Wednesdays 11:00am to 12:15pm on Zoom\, and will run October 1\, 2025 – December 3\, 2025. \nWhat’s the Story? A Memoir Writing Class \nDo you have some stories you’d like to tell? There may be stories about your life that you want to tell your children or grandchildren\, perhaps about another country or culture you came from or your parents came from. Was there an experience that changed your life or your neighborhood? How about if you were in the military and you want to share something about that? If you have a desire to share or describe anything that you are fascinated by\, care about or even want to change\, this class is a place to do that.\n \nFormat \nWhat’s the Story is a 10-week writing class that intends to provoke\, free and guide anyone to write a memoir that reflects their own unique voice and life experience. This is a workshop-style interactive course. Participants will take turns sharing their work and have opportunities to receive feedback and guidance from the instructor and the other participants. There is also time to discuss technical skills\, confront creative blocks\, and set writing goals. All writing is done outside of class at your own pace. \nLike all UofO events\, this class is offered for free\, but your tax-deductible donation goes a long way to cover the costs of delivering the course. \nPlease register for the class here. \nSusan Hasho is a developmental editor which is an editor involved in the mysterious process of enabling writers and anyone interested in writing to find their way through the maze of expectations\, judgment and even fear to find the true heart of what they want to write. She has trained and worked as an actor and writer\, and moved into the advertising field to work as a copy editor for advertising agencies and Fortune 500 companies. She began working with writers several years ago as an editor and it became her goal to teach a writing class that would enable people to be as free of self-criticism and inhibiting expectations as possible in order to write clearly and openly with joy.

SUMMARY:Introducing Latin American Liberation Theology
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Latin American Liberation Theology\n3-session Mini Course\, Jan. 26\, Feb. 2\, + Feb. 9\n7pm-8pm ET on Zoom \nLatin American Liberation Theology is one of the signal developments in spirituality and transformative politics in the post-WWII era. This three session mini-course will introduce the historical contexts\, community practices\, and basic concepts of Liberation Theology to all those interested in the liberatory and spiritual aspects of community-building. Leonardo Boff\, a Brazilian theologian\, captured the essence of the spirit of Liberation Theology when he wrote: “The process of liberation brings with it a profound conflict. Having the project be clear is not enough. What is necessary is a spirituality of resistance and of renewed hope to turn ever back to the struggle in the face of the defeats of the oppressed.” In a time of increasing conflict and struggle in our society\, join us to renew your sense of hope by learning from our Latin American friends and fellow sojourners in the struggle for a better world. \nEdgar Rivera Colón\, PhD\, is a medical anthropologist and ordained minister in The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries (TFAM) who provides pastoral accompaniment to tenant rights organizing groups\, labor unions\, and immigrant justice movements in Los Angeles. He offers spiritual direction for faith-based activists. He is a U of O board member and minister at Faith + Works Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Orange\, NJ. He first encountered the practice and theory of Liberation Theology when he lived and worked in El Salvador and Nicaragua in the mid-1980s as a young Jesuit. He lives in East LA in a queer Latina multigenerational household with his nieces\, their moms\, and fury canine nephews Biscuit and Hans Solo. \n\n  \nPlease register for this class here.

SUMMARY:What's the Story? Memoir Writing Class - Winter 2026
DESCRIPTION:10-week virtual memoir class offered by UofO\, taught by developmental editor Susan Hasho \nThe class is held on Wednesdays 11:00am to 12:15pm on Zoom\, and will run January 21\, 2026 – March 25\, 2026. \nWhat’s the Story? A Memoir Writing Class \nDo you have some stories you’d like to tell? There may be stories about your life that you want to tell your children or grandchildren\, perhaps about another country or culture you came from or your parents came from. Was there an experience that changed your life or your neighborhood? How about if you were in the military and you want to share something about that? If you have a desire to share or describe anything that you are fascinated by\, care about or even want to change\, this class is a place to do that.\n \nFormat \nWhat’s the Story is a 10-week writing class that intends to provoke\, free and guide anyone to write a memoir that reflects their own unique voice and life experience. This is a workshop-style interactive course. Participants will take turns sharing their work and have opportunities to receive feedback and guidance from the instructor and the other participants. There is also time to discuss technical skills\, confront creative blocks\, and set writing goals. All writing is done outside of class at your own pace. \nLike all UofO events\, this class is offered for free\, but your tax-deductible donation goes a long way to cover the costs of delivering the course. \n**If you are interested in joining this class\, please email us at info@universityoforange.org to join the waitlist.** \nSusan Hasho is a developmental editor which is an editor involved in the mysterious process of enabling writers and anyone interested in writing to find their way through the maze of expectations\, judgment and even fear to find the true heart of what they want to write. She has trained and worked as an actor and writer\, and moved into the advertising field to work as a copy editor for advertising agencies and Fortune 500 companies. She began working with writers several years ago as an editor and it became her goal to teach a writing class that would enable people to be as free of self-criticism and inhibiting expectations as possible in order to write clearly and openly with joy.
