How often have you wished that you had responded to something that was said or done? Many of us have had this unsettling experience due to uncertainty regarding how to respond. The Office of Inclusion and Institutional Equity is offering a Speak Up! workshop that will provide you with the tools necessary to challenge everyday bigotry. Speak Up! workshops foster discussion of encounters that individuals have had with everyday bigotry, from stores to restaurants, the classroom, or workplace. Participants openly share stories about incidents with a variety of people and how best to respond. Participation in this workshop will provide an opportunity for you to develop and practice appropriate responses in order to be ready to address bigotry in a manner that is both effective and civil.
Faculty and staff members are encouraged to register for the next Speak Up! professional development workshop:
