Exploring Our Own Identities: Laying the Groundwork for Social Justice Action

Description

CFI Online Synchronous Workshop for Faculty

The first step in social justice education is to understand who we are ourselves—our own experiences, positionalities, oppressions, privileges, and more. Increased self-awareness affects how we show up for the multi-faceted students in our own courses, as well as the ways we guide interactions that account for students’ own, full selves. In this online workshop, participants will engage in a variety of activities intended to encourage critical, and sometimes uncomfortable, self-reflection and group dialogue, as a way of preparing for action. Wednesday, August 5, 3:30 pm (sign up open until 2:30 pm). For more information and to sign up, click here.
