ONLINE: EQ101 Equity 101

Wednesday, April 21, 2021 9:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

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. 

This is an online workshop hosted on Microsoft Teams. The link to join will be sent to your inbox from the Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion Trainings email (hrei.trainings@uwaterloo.ca) 48 hours prior to the workshop date.
