Ross Wantland, Director of Curriculum Development & Education at the OVCDEI's Office of Academic Inclusive Excellence, will hold this in-person workshop for Illini Union staff and supervisors.
The university's expert on the topic will demonstrate how microaggressions are everyday slights, rudeness, or insults that communicate subtle (and not so subtle) messages of bias and disrespect. This workshop will include an insightful discussion on microaggressions and their relationship to climate, cooperation and belonging. In addition, participants will practice strategies for responding to microaggressions at work.
Although registration is not needed, you are asked to confirm your availability in advance with your supervisor, if necessary.
