Calling All Writers! A Featured Writing Opportunity
Greeting Stewards,
We hope that you all are doing well as the weather starts warming up (finally, that is, here in Minnesota!). Recently, we featured a blog post written by Alyson Shelton, a writer and one of our 2021 Symposium Panelists. Alyson spoke about her takeaway from attending PAHS forums and how she turned it into her own weekly activity on social media. Her weekly Instagram Live series incorporates the 2021 PAHS forum exercise based on the George Ella Lyon poem, “Where I’m From.” Here, she shares other people’s stories using the same prompts.
PAHS strives to be a community-based and human-first organization. Therefore, we would like to invite you, our community, to share your health stories, your thoughts about health and healthcare stewardship, resources and/or readings on the topic, and the day-to-day actions you undertake in relation to the PAHS mission of advancing health and healthcare stewardship through narrative and inquiry. While we can’t promise to publish everything we receive, we will seek to publish all that we can, and we would love to hear from as many of you as possible.
The guidelines are very simple. First, write up an original blog post sharing your experience. Examples of blog material might include a link to a short story/poem or other reading that you found moving and that feels in conversation with the larger topic of health and stewardship, an account of a personal experience (recent or long ago) that feels relevant to health and stewardship, or even a resource or news article you found interesting! Then, submit it to our email at steward@umn.edu. Please feel free to reach out to us via email as well if you have any other questions. We’ll edit all submissions for length and clarity, and we will let you know in advance if we’re planning to share your post.
Lastly, remember that registration is open for our 2022 Forum Series! Check out the Forum Page for further information or register with the button down below.
Warmly,
Asheanna
