Join us for an engaging session that delves into the principles of anti-oppression and offers practical frameworks for fostering inclusive practices at the University.  This workshop will highlight the systems and attitudes that contribute to microaggressions and equip participants with effective strategies for addressing them.
By the end of this workshop, you will:  

  • Gain a deeper understanding of how oppression impacts the experiences of equity-deserving groups and the specific dynamics of EDI in post-secondary education.
  • Recognize how dominant groups may perpetuate oppression, both consciously and unconsciously.
  • Apply essential concepts related to anti-racism, oppression, privilege, and tokenism.
  • Understand the role of unconscious bias in shaping individual and community experiences.
  • Identify microaggressions and learn effective strategies for responding to them.

Join us in building a more inclusive and equitable campus for all!
