This virutal Zoom workshop is an introductory discussion on Identifying and Interrupting Racism in STEM. It covers the fundamental concepts of implicit bias and microaggressions. How does implicit bias reinforce structural inequity and racism in STEM education and programming? What kinds of strategies do we have and what questions can we create to examine our STEM programs and curriculum?

Facilitated by Louise Wilmes, Charissa Jones, and Dan Prince

*Ally - Someone who makes the commitment and effort to recognize their privilege (based on gender, class, race, sexual identity, etc.) and work in solidarity with oppressed groups in the struggle for justice. Allies understand that it is in their own interest to end all forms of oppression, even those from which they may benefit in concrete ways. (Center for the Study of Social Policy)
