Workshop: Facing an Uncertain Future Without Losing Yourself
Speaker: Mia Tootill, MA ’13, Ph.D. ’17 (Musicology), LMSW, CMT-P, Psychotherapist & Mindfulness Teacher
Session Summary: With many challenges upon us, it is easy to lose our drive and desire, forgo meaningful connections with others, and to question everything around us. Being a graduate student today can be particularly overwhelming, due to the already tenuous nature of the job market, the ever-pervasive “imposter syndrome”, and increased unknowns of how academia will be affected by the coronavirus crisis. It has become more important than ever to be able to see ourselves in a more expansive way, not solely as academics or defined by our intelligence, but as humans who each have unique contributions to share with the world. From this viewpoint, we can approach the future from a place of strength and resilience, knowing that we can face whatever obstacles arise. Join alumna and psychotherapist Dr. Mia Tootill who will take us through an interactive and reflective process to reaffirm our core selves and to address common blocks to validating our self-worth and overcoming the shame spiral. She will offer tools from psychological and mindfulness research and speak from her own personal and professional experiences as someone who navigated these challenges successfully herself and is now helping others do the same. If you are interested more specifically in psychotherapy as a profession, Dr. Tootill will be available after the talk from 12-12:30pm to answer questions about career transitions.
P2S Focus Area: Build Your Skills – Balance & Resilience

Transmedia Knowledge for Liberal Arts and Community Engagement: A StudioLab Manifesto
This workshop helps scholars reframe their research and teaching experience for different people, including friends and family, community organizations, non-profit and business institutions, and the general public. Disciplinary methods and practices have analogues
across modern societies: analyzing materials, presenting information and methodologies, leading discussions, scheduling activities, assigning and evaluating work, giving feedback, connecting to larger conversations and missions—the scholar’s research and teaching
activities have much in common with those of producers: both oversee projects, coordinate collaboration, and
connect individuals to social institutions.
Learning to reframe your passions and skills and share them with others may entail reimagining your work and yourself—slightly or dramatically. As part of this reframing, the workshop initiates you on a path toward three things:

a professional portfolio of work
a collection of stories and experiences
a plan of action

To Register- we will send a Zoom link the day prior to the workshop.
