SESSION DESCRIPTION:This session is designed to help support and empower fellows who are committed to reducing identity-based aggression in the workplace. Microaggressions, which constitute subtle, everyday acts of discrimination, and macroaggressions, involving overt and explicit acts of prejudice, are both forms of identity-based violence that harm us all. By participating in this session, you will learn from a senior leader about the role we each play in building a workplace with high levels of fluency and awareness in how to navigate identity-based obstacles across lines of difference.
You will also learn:
- Practical techniques for deciding how to respond to tensions caused by identity-based lines of difference.
- The important role of being an ally in spaces where you are in the majority and
- How to use these moments to push beyond the impediment or obstacles they pose, towards the collective learning and growth of your colleagues in the workplace.
This session is for:
- Fellows who may be experiencing obstacles in their agency that are based on their identity.
- Fellows who are allies and champion inclusive workspaces for the overall enhancement of the work environment.
- Leaders interested in creating equitable environments and growing their teams’ fluency in navigating lines of difference.
