Bystander Intervention: Practicing Intervention Strategies (Zoom) August 18th, 9-10:30AM
All too often we witness subtle comments or behaviors rooted in bias that cause harm to others, sometimes unintentionally and frequently directed toward people from marginalized social identity groups. Have you ever witnessed a bias incident such as a microaggression and wanted to intervene, but didn't know what to say or do? Becoming an active bystander involves recognizing a bias incident and saying or doing something to stop the harm. Anyone can become an active bystander and learn to address bias in everyday interactions. In this 90-minute workshop, we will explore some of the most commonly encountered expressions of bias and identify tools participants can use to interrupt bias in daily life. Participants will practice what they have learned using real-life scenarios.
Addressing Equity and Inclusion in Your Research Mentoring (Zoom) August 19th, 11:30AM-1:30PM
This workshop is designed for faculty mentors of undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty. During this workshop, faculty will learn how to acknowledge the impact of conscious and unconscious assumptions, privilege, and biases in the mentor-mentee relationship. Through group discussion, case studies, and role play, mentors have the opportunity to learn and practice mentoring skills that acknowledge diversity. This program is part of the Ohio State Mentoring Initiative.
Introduction to Microaggressions: Small Actions that Have a Big Impact (Zoom) August 23rd, 12-1:30PM
Microaggressions are common, often subtle expressions of bias, many times initiated unintentionally and unconsciously that can have serious impacts on recipients including shortening life expectancy. In this 90-minute workshop, participants will learn about common microaggressions and the hidden, harmful messages they send. Participants will practice differentiating intention from impact using real-life scenarios. Finally, participants will be provided with strategies for responding to being called out/in for being the microaggression initiator.
