Dear Friends of the UMIH, We hope you are taking care as we enter week eight (!) of the temporary physical closure of the university. CARE microgrants: deadline Wednesday, May 13 With QPOC Winnnipeg, the UMIH is thrilled to support 10 microgrants of $300 each for creative projects from U of M students and community members. Please spread the word to your creative friends, colleagues, and students. Details can be found on the UMIH's Facebook page, or at this link: https://umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/departments/humanities/4507.html Write-on-line Monday and Thursday morning Write-On-Sites have been re-rebranded to Write-ON-LINES. Write-on-sites have gone virtual to prioritize public health and safety while still maintaining our sense of connection during these isolating times. Virtual write-on-sites will continue every Monday and Thursday from 9 am to 12 pm. Everyone is welcome to write together, apart. Please email Serenity at: joo(a)cc.umanitoba.ca for the Zoom invite. Supporting community For those of us lucky and privileged to have stable income right now and are looking to support community, here are two local initiatives to consider supporting: --Prairie Province Prisoner Support Fund, organized by a new, Indigenous-led, anti-colonial prison abolition collective, Free Lands Free Peoples: https://ca.gofundme.com/f/prairie-province-prisoner-support-fund --Sex Workers of Winnipeg Action Coalition (SWWAC): https://www.gofundme.com/f/swwac-covid19-relief-fund Other Opportunities The U of M Libraries invite you to deepen your data and research skills through their upcoming webinars<http://lib-umanitoba.libcal.com/calendar?cid=2153&t=d&d=0000-00-00&cal=2153…>, beginning April 22nd. These webinars present the best tools, techniques, and strategies to help researchers remain on track with current goals and projects.
