This session will explore how to engage critically in anti-oppression and anti-racism and provide frameworks for engaging in equitable and inclusive decision-making at the University. Anti-oppressive leadership involves both critical and practical examinations of individual, interpersonal, systemic, and cultural barriers to full participation for equity-deserving groups. Applying an anti-oppressive lens to our work is essential to cultivating an inclusive campus where every individual experiences a sense of belonging.

Audience: All Staff, Faculty, and Leaders
The SCARF tool was developed by David Rock, the director of the NeuroLeadership Institute and author of Your Brain at Work. The tool provides valuable insights into what motivates us and others and the implications for how we collaborate, influence each other, and respond to change.
Audience: All Staff, Faculty, and Leaders
Different people have different ideas, values, beliefs and viewpoints, and occasionally that can lead to disagreement. Conflict is a naturally occurring part of working with others. Skillfully managing yourself during a disagreement can ensure you contribute to a workplace that encourages people to express their differences, challenge ideas respectfully and promotes a dynamic environment that is collaborative, innovative and adaptable to change.
This workshop will go through best practices on creating accessible documents in Word, PowerPoint and looking at converting them to accessible PDFs. During the workshop you'll be given files to remediate as you go through the topics and software. Bring your own laptop to the event.
