We've moved with care and intention as we have considered the decision of whether to gather. We've talked a lot about what's safe, balanced with what's needed right now from our community and beyond. We don't take this decision lightly. We believe that we can do our best, collectively, to gather safely right now (read our covid protocols here). We know the need is there! We know that many of us, within our community and beyond, are in need of the affirming experiences offered by radical spaces like SotA.
It feels really surreal and exciting to have the opportunity to hold space for our community again this year! SotA is not only creating space for radical, communal learning, we are hosting a community that aims to be equitable and safe(r) for those most marginalized in institutional learning spaces. We aim to hold space, learn alongside, and listen deeply to one another. It is our aim to foster a community where we can collectively nurture our imaginations, and learn, teach, and grow together.
Important Dates & Deadlines:
Mid-March: 2022 class list released
March 21st - scholarship application deadline
March 28th - student application deadline*
*we will continue accepting paying student applications after this deadline until all spots are full.
However, we encourage you to apply by the deadline for the best chance of joining us this May!
Why a mini-session? With a 1-week session, we eliminate a lot of risk: it's the same group the whole time, no coming and going, and we can effectively form a pod while we're together. It is our hope to hold our next FULL 3-week session in May of 2023, but we wanted to offer something lower-risk this year.
We will be creating a faculty list mostly from our 2020 faculty, so there will be no faculty applications this year. We are shifting our student and scholarship applications to be fully online, and they are ready now!
Lastly, thanks to our Radical Accessibility Fundraiser, we are able to offer additional scholarships this year - almost 40% of our students will be attending on scholarships - which is a really huge step towards a radically accessible future for SotA! We hope to share space with you this year. Access our 2022 applications below.
