    Writing a FYSem paper can be hard for all sorts of reasons. Maybe you’re not sure how to begin. Maybe you’ve gotten stuck. Maybe you don’t know what your main point is. Bring a draft, some notes, a half-formed idea, a writing problem, or just the work you need to get done. Jane Smith, FYSem professor and Stevenson Library’s resident writing coach, will be on hand to help.

    Please join us to celebrate the publication of Train of Life: A Story of Grief Counseling and Writing for Recovery by Bard psychology research scholar Sayed Jafar Ahmadi, Ph.D.  Dr. Ahmadi is a psychology researcher whose work focuses on trauma recovery and the mental health of young people and communities affected by war and displacement. He is a Research Scholar at Bard College, a Visiting Scholar at The New School, and an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at Monash University. Over more than two decades, he has contributed to psychology education, research, and humanitarian programs in Afghanistan and other countries. In 2024, he received the American Psychological Association’s International Humanitarian Award. In his book, Train of Life: A Story of Grief Counseling and Writing for Recovery, he uses a story to explain the writing-for-recovery approach, offering guidance for readers coping with grief and for mental health professionals supporting people through loss.

    This event is cosponsored by Stevenson Library, Office of the Dean of Inclusive Excellence, Institute for International Liberal Education, GHEA21, Center for Civic Engagement, the Bard Psychology and Human Rights programs, and the Bard Counselling office. Light refreshments will be served.
