2021 Fall Faculty Bystander Training Workshops

By Joseph Hartman

With the semester starting, I want to encourage all faculty to sign up for Faculty Bystander Training, cosponsored by the new ADVANCE Office for Faculty Equity (Provost’s Office) and the NSF-funded Making WAVES Initiative (Center for Women & Work).

Register online now.

Two workshops are available:

• Microaggressions & Bystander Behavior: A Tool Kit (Friday, Oct. 8, 1-3 p.m., in person)
  Recommended for those who have not yet attended a WAVES bystander training workshop.
• Intersectional Microaggressions: Race, Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation & More (Thursday, Nov. 4, 10 a.m.-noon, virtual)
  Recommended for those who have attended a prior WAVES bystander training workshop or already have a solid foundation or knowledge about bystander behavior.

These training sessions are practical: They are devoted to building participants’ skill in identifying and interrupting instances of microaggressions. The hands-one, two -hour trainings provide opportunities for active learning.

I encourage you to register online now.
