J. Cody Nielsen Speaking Topics

Reclaiming the Mission of Higher Education: Our Past, Our Present, and Our Vision For the Shared Future Education

With the current moment of political and social upheaval occurring in the United States (and beyond) there has never been a more important moment for higher education to consider the importance of reclaiming or core mission and vision. This keynote talk is specifically tailored to the campus setting and will invite participants to consider who "we" are and what our role on campus looks like.
So, You Want to Have the Conversation: Trauma-Informed, Collective Response, and Restorative Justice Efforts to Overcome Religious and Geopolitical Divisions

The events of October 7th have ignited the realities that most individuals are ill-prepared for the tensions that exist between religious communities. This training helps to broaden the understanding of not just Israeli and Palestinian tensions, but how religion can be a tension-filled sector of identity. This area will consider antisemitism, Islamophobia, Hinduphobia, Anti-Christian and Anti-Atheism including hate crime statistics and trends. Participants will then be provided introductory training on how the use of restorative practices and trauma-informed pedagogies can provide insight on how to go about providing healing. This training, or series of trainings, is directly tied to long-term sustainability, difficult dialogues, and the need to have more serious conversations about discourse as it related to religion and geopolitics.

Xenophobia in Society: A series on Antisemitism, Islamophobia, Hinduphobia, and Anti-atheism

In this training, we look at specific issues of xenophobia. This series of topics are designed to focus on reflexivity amongst the participants, asking them to consider implicit bias, microaggression, and other actions which can cause harm. Participants will explore the hidden variables of what Dr. Jenny Small calls “false neutral secularism” and the idea that individuals and institutions cannot discuss religion because of a perception of religion as “private matter.” Power, privilege, and position will all be subject material for each of these trainings, which are intentionally separate trainings and should not be combined.
Rehumanizing the Field of Higher Education: A pathway from the market model to the marketplace of ideas

Education settings have moved from being a place wherein individuals believe themselves to be "finding themselves" and claiming their identities to a business model in which the manufacturing of degrees is the most important aspect of the academy. This talk specifically invites participants to consider the ways in which we can decolonize the campus and recenter the role of the human being and the lived experience as being the goal of education. This session is designed for everyone, and calls to task the institution as being critical in fostering a sense of belonging amongst all members of the campus community.
Religious, Secular, and Spiritual Literacy 101: A Masked and Muted Identity Group

Designed to begin a conversation with professionals, this topical area focuses on broad realities of how religious, secular, and spiritual cultures and identities (RSSCIS) are part of identity-based concerns in our society. This session serves as an introduction to the broad diversity of identities which one might encounter in settings, the ways in which to prevent harm through implicit bias, stigmas, and even potential legal issues related to religious accommodations.
The Intersectional Frame: Religion as a Part of Race, Gender, and Sexuality DEI Inclusivity

Religion is not a monolith. Either by one’s practices or by the idea that religion is an off-set identity that falls outside of intersectional experiences. Religion is inherently tied not only to the experiences of gender, race, and sexuality, but has been used as a narrative that has cause significant harm on equity movements in support of racial justice, bodily and women’s autonomy, and LGBTQIA+ Identities. These areas of focus, which can be divided into multiple discussion to address specifically race, gender, and sexuality, supports individuals and explores those ways in which to have better interrogates the role of religion on society.
