Courageous Conversations with Dr. Joseph

Come talk with Peabody Associate Dean of EDI, Dr. Nicole Joseph, at our next Courageous Conversations session for students on Friday, April 28, 11:00 a.m. The goal of Courageous Conversations is to support our Peabody community in building our knowledge, skills, and dispositions to create powerful learning spaces. This is a space that invites concerns as well as creative ideas about solutions – and an opportunity to have an informal conversation with Dr. Joseph. Bring ideas and/or questions and brainstorm solutions to create more inclusive spaces at Peabody.

Dr. Joseph is an associate professor of mathematics education. Her work has centered around cognitive coaching and building capacity for courageous conversations, techniques often used in EDI work to create transformational spaces for greater equity and inclusion. She looks forward to being a co-thinker and creative problem solver at Peabody, working with students, faculty, and staff to create a greater sense of belonging within the community.

University Counseling Center (UCC) Drop-in Consultation for International and APIDA-identifying Students

UCC Drop-In Consultation provides easy access to informal, confidential, and free consultations with University Counseling Center counselors.

UCC Drop-In Consultation is generally helpful for students who 1) are not sure about counseling and wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor, 2) may not be interested in ongoing therapy but would like the perspective of a counselor, 3) have a specific problem and would like to talk it through with a counselor, or 4) have a concern about a friend and want some thoughts about what to do.

Students who are experiencing an immediate mental health emergency are encouraged to attend UCC Urgent Care, instead of Drop-In Consultation. For any questions about UCC Drop-In Consultation, please call 615-322-2571.

Every Tuesday
2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. 
Peabody Administration Building Heritage Room 218B.

UCC Drop-In Consultation hours at Peabody are specifically for APIDA (Asian Pacific Islander Desi American) students and/or International students who wish to receive brief support around concerns which may be impacted by their identities, in an overtly affirming space.
