Beautiful Social Reseach Collaborative’s
Community-Engaged Writing Summer Workshop
Designing for Justice in Community Projects, Programs, and Partnerships
Northern New Mexico June 11-16, 2026
Join us for a 5-day immersive community-engaged writing workshop focused on regenerative media practices to promote social justice. Together, we will explore sustainable and equitable approaches to leverage community strengths, enhance resources, and build internal capacity for lasting, positive impact.
Rooted in methods developed through the Beautiful Social Research Collaborative, this workshop invites participants to examine how community writing and design can support more just, reciprocal projects.
WHO
Open to nonprofits, community-based organizations, scholars, educators, activists, and practitioners dedicated to fostering sustainable, inclusive, and equitable change.
WHY
Centering justice necessitates transforming mindsets and infrastructures, promoting media practices that actively restore and uplift communities and ecosystems.
HOW
We will explore methods to share power and knowledge with our communities while building internal capacity to create lasting impact.
Join us in Northern New Mexico for our annual convening of the Community-Engaged Writing Summer Workshop. Here, we will have time to slow down, to connect, and build community.
