In this two-part workshop, participants will be introduced to strategies that foster inclusive teaching spaces. In the first workshop, participants will delve into the concept of implicit bias and its profound impact on teaching and learning environments. Through discussion and activities, participants will have an opportunity to identify and mitigate their own biases, implement inclusive teaching practices, and cultivate a supportive atmosphere that respects and values diversity. By the end of the workshop, participants will be provided with practical strategies that they can implement in their own teaching. The second workshop will take place on December 3rd from 12:00-1:30pm.

In this second workshop, participants will explore the concept of microaggressions and stereotypes. The session is aimed at providing an understanding of how subtle, often unintentional, remarks or behaviors can impact students' sense of belonging and self-esteem. Through engaging activities and reflective discussions, participants will learn to identify and productively address microaggressions and stereotypes, develop strategies for fostering a supportive and inclusive classroom culture, and promote open dialogue. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with practical strategies to recognize, address, and prevent microaggressions and stereotypes in their teaching.
