Thu, September 5, 2013 1:15 PM - 3:45 PM IRVING K. BARBER LEARNING CENTRE. Free - Please Register. This workshop will work to improve the conversations around politically and culturally sensitive issues in a classroom. A challenge in such conversations for both educators and learners often arises from not knowing how to move past awareness and acknowledgement of one’s privilege.
In this workshop, you will explore ideas of privilege and discrimination through interactive activities and some effective ways of engaging in significant conversations with your students. You will have a chance to share case studies, discuss in-depth the issues emerging from these incidents, and consider strategies for addressing them to create a more inclusive and equitable space in your classroom and beyond.
Location: Irving K. Barber Learning Centre - Seminar Room 2.22A/B
