Equity 101 Workshops

Our Racial Equity Workshop Foundational Series is the place to start if you are starting your equity journey. See workshop descriptions below. Please note: All of our workshops are participatory.

Implicit Bias: Consciously or not, all of us carry biases towards individuals and/or groups. We look at what implicit bias is and how it works. Participants will examine their own biases and identify how those show up. Tips for how both individuals and organizations can manage bias are provided.

Microaggressions: Intent vs. Impact: What are microaggressions? Can they hurt if they weren’t intended in a hurtful way? How do they impact our work environment? What are helpful responses when I see, commit, or have someone use one on me?

Understanding Power and Privilege: As we consider topics of race, gender, ableism, heterosexism, and ageism, this workshop explores: What privilege is, who has it and how it works for them, as well as how power and privilege are connected, and how the misuse of power and privilege become oppression.

Developing Cultural Humility: What does it mean to be develop cultural humility?  We’ll explore how an organization can become inclusive and understanding of a variety of cultures, races, abilities, and differences, and identify changes that can be made by organizations and by individuals to transform the climate.

Registration closes at noon the weekday before each workshop. Participants will be emailed the Zoom link after registration closes.
