This workshop is about how to respond effectively to unrespectful comments as a means of being more proactive in creating a respectful environment. Unrespectful comments could be jokes, slurs, stereotypical comments. They could be micro-aggressions. They could be disrespect treatment in a power relationship (e.g., between TAs and undergrads, between faculty/visitors and staff). The workshop will address how to react if you are on the receiving end and how to react if you are a witness to disrespectful behaviour.
Presenting: Lynn Long, Senior Education Consultant and Matt Erickson, Director - Office of Conflict Management and Human Rights
