Cultural Competency Lecture on Powerful Ways to Respond to Microaggressions, Stereotypes & Isms lead by Professor of Biology Elizabeth De Stasio & Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion and Associate Dean of Faculty Kimberly Barrett.
This interactive session will discuss strategies that targets of microaggressions, stereotypes and “isms” can use to respond to bias in ways that are self-affirming and empowering. Social science research will be referenced to inform participants’ understanding of concepts related to microaggressions and stereotypes. Participants will also engage in case study and role play to practice powerful ways to respond in these situations.
