Description

This workshop focuses on knowledge of microaggressions and intervention skills. UMass Lowell 2022 Spring Bystander Workshop: Microaggressions & Bystander Behavior - A Tool Kit Like a mosquito bite, one microaggression may not be a big deal. But imagine being bitten multiple times a week, year-round. This is how the culture is for some people at UMass Lowell and most other universities. Be part of the effort to change it! We invite full-time faculty from all ranks and departments to become better equipped to notice and intervene when microaggressions occur. The training session is practical: it is devoted to building participants’ skill in identifying and interrupting instances of microaggressions. Role playing and vignettes help participants develop confidence in their ability to notice microaggressions and intervene. This hands-on, two-hour-long training provides opportunities for active learning. When: Monday, February 7, 2022, 10 a.m. - Noon Where: University Crossing (UCC) 158.
