SUMMARY:The State of Mental Health: The Evolving Landscape and Strategies/Resources for Navigating the Path Forward
DESCRIPTION:Mental health problems among college students were at alarming levels and on the rise prior to the eruption of COVID-19. The pandemic has added stressors and exacerbated mental health problems. Sara Abelson will review the current state of college student mental health nationally\, trends over time\, and opportunities for action\, drawing on the largest study of college student mental health in the U.S.\, the Healthy Minds Study. Janet Lewis Muth will then lead a discussion of how that data translates to the residential liberal arts setting and how institutions like ours can respond. \nPresenters\n\nJanet Lewis Muth\, MPH\, Director of Health Promotion\, Carleton College\nSara Abelson\, MPH\, Co-Investigator & Lead for Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion Projects with the Healthy Minds Network and Ph.D. candidate in public health at the University of Michigan\n\nLearn More and Register

SUMMARY:Supporting the Mental Health of Students: My Role
DESCRIPTION:Being responsive to student mental health requires moving beyond “refer them to counseling.” In a small\, liberal arts context\, each of us has a role in creating an environment in which students can be mentally well\, developing a safety net for when students are struggling\, and helping students to feel valued. In this workshop\, Lisa Broek and Liz Schneider-Bateman will present a socio-ecological model for mental health on a small liberal arts campus. We will examine how this model aligns with equity and highlight the interdisciplinary collaboration that the model calls for. We’ll provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on their own role and walk away with actionable next steps to support the mental health of their students. \nPresenters\n\nLisa Broek\, MA\, CHES\, Director of Health Promotion\, Macalester College\nLiz Schneider-Bateman\, MSW\, LICSW\, Director of Counseling\, Macalester College\n\nLearn More and Register

SUMMARY:Public Opinion and Foreign Policy – Does It Matter\, and If So\, How?
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and Associated Colleges of the Midwest have joined together for a yearlong series on Foreign Policy in Practice. \nAs the Biden administration champions a Foreign Policy for the Middle Class\, the first program in the series will consider how the opinions of Americans outside the foreign policy community factor into foreign policy decision making. To what extent does public opinion influence foreign policy decisions\, and to what extent should it? How does our foreign policy influence public opinion in return? \nDina Smeltz\, senior fellow on public opinion and foreign policy for the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and lead for the annual survey of American attitudes towards foreign policy\, and James N. Druckman\, the Payson S. Wild Professor of Political Science and Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University\, will join Elizabeth Shackelford\, senior fellow on foreign policy\, in a conversation that addresses the theory\, practice\, and history of public opinion’s influence on foreign policy. There will be time for audience Q&A and following the discussion there will be an informal opportunity for participants to network with their ACM peers\, discuss careers in foreign policy\, and continue the conversation. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Democracy and Human Rights vs. Authoritarianism Around the World | Foreign Policy in Practice Series
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Council on Global Affairs (@ChiCouncilFP) and Associated Colleges of the Midwest (@ACMedu) have joined together for a yearlong series on Foreign Policy in Practice. \nUkraine today represents the frontline of a global struggle between democracy and authoritarianism. How much should the US prioritize democracy and human rights promotion abroad?

SUMMARY:Russia's War in Ukraine at One Year: Local\, Regional\, & Global Impact and Prospects | Foreign Policy in Practice Series
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Council on Global Affairs (@ChiCouncilFP) and Associated Colleges of the Midwest (@ACMedu) have joined together for a series on Foreign Policy in Practice. \nThe impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine has rippled across the globe\, with dire consequences not only for the Ukrainian people but also energy markets\, food security\, and trade worldwide. It has reinvigorated Western alliances\, shaken up relationships among post-Soviet states\, caused tension with states of the Global South\, and raised concern about the role of China in international crises. \nJoin students and faculty from across the ACM for a discussion on how different countries have responded\, why they have responded the way they have\, and what the trajectory might look like in the year to come. \nThis event will be hosted at Knox College as an in-person offering for members of the Knox and Monmouth College communities. It will also be streamed virtually so that faculty\, staff\, and students on the other ACM campuses can participate individually or through group-viewing arrangements. \n\nPARTICIPATION OPTIONS\nVIRTUAL PARTICIPANTS: Zoom Registration Link \nPlease complete the registration above if you will be participating in the event via Zoom on your own device or if you will be hosting a viewing session on your campus. \nKNOX COLLEGE COMMUNITY: Please contact Katie Stewart \nMONMOUTH COLLEGE COMMUNITY: Please contact Michael Nelson \nCAMPUS VIEWING SESSION: Please contact your college’s political science department to ask whether a viewing session will be offered on your campus. \n\nModerator\n \nMichael Nelson\, Associate Professor and Co-Chair of Political Science\, Director of the Center for Civic and Social Change; Monmouth College \nMichael Nelson’s research focuses on the international relations of African states\, including their participation in global governance\, their foreign relations (especially with China)\, and environmental politics in the region. He is interested in understanding how and why different parts of the world get along with each other with the challenges of poverty and inequality and the incredible varieties of cultures. \nNelson was previously Chair of African Studies\, Assistant Professor of Government\, and a member of the College of Environment at Wesleyan University. He has consulted for the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the U.S. State Department. He has also served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ghana. Nelson is the author of African Coalitions and Global Economic Governance (Cambridge University Press\, 2016). \n\nPanelists\n \nKatie Stewart\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, Knox College \nKatie Stewart’s research and teaching interests stem from a fascination with how national identities come to be so strongly held and contested. She is broadly interested in the processes by which “we the people” is defined and promoted\, who gets to do the defining\, and who is excluded. She also explores how this process varies in its form and significance in authoritarian versus democratic states. \nStewart’s current research project examines how the Putin administration uses nationalism as a strategy for bolstering its legitimacy and popular support in Russia. She explores Putin’s legitimating nationalism through a comparison of symbolic politics in three of Russia’s ethnic republics based on fieldwork observations and interviews. She also uses survey data to evaluate this strategy’s effectiveness in increasing regime legitimacy. \n\nElizabeth Shackelford\, Senior Fellow\, U.S. Foreign Policy at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and former U.S. foreign service officer with the U.S. State Department \nElizabeth Shackelford’s analysis\, writing\, and outreach focus on building awareness and understanding of a “restraint” approach to foreign policy\, which seeks to limit the use of military force to the defense of core U.S. national security interests and favors robust diplomatic engagement. She was a career diplomat with the U.S. Department of State until December 2017\, when she resigned in protest of the Trump administration. As a Foreign Service Officer\, Shackelford served in Somalia\, Kenya\, South Sudan\, Poland\, and Washington\, D.C.\, tracking political and conflict developments\, advising Mission and Washington leadership\, and advocating for U.S. interests with foreign counterparts. \nAs a non-resident fellow with the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft in 2020\, Shackelford conducted research\, analysis\, and commentary on the costs of a militarized approach to foreign policy and the need for greater accountability in U.S. actions abroad. Shackelford is the author of The Dissent Channel: American Diplomacy in a Dishonest Age (PublicAffairs\, 2020)\, winner of the 2020 Douglas Dillon Book Award.
