Inequities on Campus: Understanding Identity, Bias, and Oppression

This interactive session will examine the complex intersections of identity, bias, and oppression on campus, equipping participants with the tools and language to navigate these critical issues. Through discussions, case studies, and self-reflection, attendees will explore how aspects of their identity – such as race, gender, sexuality, and socioeconomic background – shape their experiences, interactions, and approach to supporting students. There will be a focus on identifying and challenging microaggressions, understanding how unconscious biases perpetuate inequality, and exploring practical strategies to address and confront these harmful behaviours.
