SUMMARY:Learning Forum: Homelessness and the Meaning of Home
DESCRIPTION:For our April Learning forum\, we are honored to welcome Dr. Josephine Ensign from the University of Washington who will speak on Homelessness and the Meaning of Home’. Loss of a home\, whether through financial difficulties\, divorce\, illness\, or natural disasters like wildfires\, is a widespread and growing problem affecting all of us. Often thought of as only an urban problem\, homelessness also occurs in suburban and rural areas throughout Washington State. What are the historical roots of homelessness\, and what lessons can we learn from them? What are the common meanings of home to us\, and how can we apply those meanings to our responses to homelessness in our communities? In this talk\, author and professor Josephine Ensign leads audiences through a values clarification exercise that includes individual writing time. Professor Ensign will share her research on the history of homelessness in her hometown of Seattle\, along with discussion of what these stories can teach us about the contemporary crisis of homelessness throughout our state and country. \nDr. Ensign (she/her)\, is a professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. Her scholarship and practice as a nurse practitioner focus on trauma-informed care and health inequities for people marginalized by poverty and homelessness. She experienced homelessness herself as a young adult. Ensign is the author of several books including Skid Road: On the Frontier of Health and Homelessness in an American City\, a 2022 finalist for the Washington State Book Award. Her latest book\, Way Home: Ways Out of Homelessness\, is forthcoming from Johns Hopkins University Press. \nThis session has been underwritten by a grant from Humanities of Washington. Advanced registration is required!  You can register for this special learning forum here.
