This session builds upon an understanding of implicit bias and microaggression. We will focus on having discussions on science’s legacy of ignoring racism and other forms of oppression and disrupting the silence. This is a virtual session that will not be recorded.

Facilitated by: Louise Wilmes (Otoe-Missouria Tribe), Marcus Vela and Dan Prince

Audience: Community STEM educators and community members that have basic understanding/workshops  about this topic.

Cost: Free

This workshop is part of a series of workshops that were developed by the PMSP Equity LeNS (Equity Leadership Network for STEM) team, a group of equity experts and STEM education experts. The goal of these workshops is to empower educators, community program staff, and others who work with marginalized or underserved youth to effectively serve as an Ally*.

MANY THANKS TO THIS YEAR’S WORKSHOP SERIES SPONSORS!

*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)
