In this session learners will continue with concepts introduced in Bias Awareness and Perceptions to identify microaggressions stemming from our biases, perceptions, and socialization. Learners will be able to differentiate the type of bias (behavioral, environmental, or language based and how they can overlap) and how to describe the intent, impact, and assumptions in microaggressive actions and speech. The learner will leave with tools to identify microaggressions in our language moving from a biased to more precise way to speak with one another.

In this workshop we’ll build upon the work done in Bias Awareness and Perceptions and Microaggressions and Inclusive Language to learn how to call ourselves in when we use biased language. We’ll discuss our safety level and how to differentiate between being unsafe and uncomfortable in a situation and how our identities affect our safety levels in varying situations. We will them move into scenario-based explorations of how to interrupt microaggression as they happen or after they’ve occurred and how to process feedback you receive. This is a two-hour session with a break.

This course will provide participants with a general overview including applications of cultural humility. Utilizing small groups, participants will use social identities to examine group dynamics, differences, and similarities. This course utilizes self-awareness through engaging activities that reveal pragmatic demonstrations of cultural humility.

Objectives: By the end of this session participants will be able to:
