Aspects of prejudice, privilege and power regularly impact undergraduates on our campuses. Without training, knowing how to address these inequities effectively can be uncomfortable and challenging.

Join us to explore inclusive teaching ideas such as how to promote belonging and create an inclusive climate starting the first day of class. We will also practice interrupting moments of bias that might otherwise leave you wondering, How could I have handled that better? 

Our emphasis will be on actually practicing in-the-moment responses, deconstructing conversations, and receiving feedback. All are welcome!
