Audience: Students, Faculty, Staff
This foundational workshop is designed to give you an understanding of equity and how our interactions with one another are shaped by systems of oppression, power, and privilege.
Participation in this workshop will give you tools and strategies to:
-
articulate and understand the broader post-secondary and societal contexts for equity, diversity, and inclusion;
-
identify and discuss individual, interpersonal, institutional, and systemic barriers for equity-seeking groups;
-
identify and discuss strategies to reduce unconscious bias, incorporate inclusive practices into your daily work, and enhance capacity for allyship.
