Recovery in Practice: Doing it Wrong

September 22, 2023
Session: Doing It Wrong
A conversation about ways that the Collegiate Recovery model can actively support students in recovery. Topics will include recovery and education supports in the criminal justice system, research into the efficacy of collegiate recovery and the impact on current Columbia students who lack these kinds of support.
Speakers:
Keith Murphy (Senior Substance Abuse Counselor, Rutgers Student Health), Noel Vest (Assistant Professor, Boston University School of Public Health), Kristine De Jesus (Founder, Students Recover), Tom Bannard (Program Coordinator, Rams in Recovery, Virginia Commonwealth University), and Caleb Knight (MFA Poetry Candidate 2024, Virginia Commonwealth University).
About Recovery in Practice
How do recovery journeys-both individual and collective-inspire creative processes, inform research trajectories, and build community? Join us for an innovative gathering of artists, authors, activists, and scientific researchers as they share their stories and foster conversations about what it means to practice recovery.
Through social practice artworks, scientific research, and creative writing, conference speakers will train students and community members in best practices, coalition building, and harm reduction to achieve social impact for the Columbia and Manhattanville communities. The conference will also attend carefully to the intersectional nexus between recovery and decarceration, foregrounding the voices of formerly incarcerated individuals.
This multi-part gathering is open to the public, and we especially encourage the entire Columbia community-students, faculty, staff-and all our neighbors in Manhattanville and beyond to engage.
