About

Interrupting and Disrupting Bias will educate on moments of oppression in the classroom and build skills in which to advocate against it. Participants will learn and share various moments of discrimination in the learning and workplace environment, and how they affect students and colleagues within their cultural identities and create a skillset to intervene. Participants will recognize the presence of similarities and differences within a given setting, collective, or group based on multiple factors including race and ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, age, educational status, religion, geography, primary language, culture, and other characteristics and experiences, and how disrupt the biases related to them. This will provide a more inclusive learning environment through removing barriers and improve greater participation. In skill building interruptions participants learn to build a safe environment for students and staff.
