This 3-part series is a collaboration betw een Human Resources and the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion and is open to all students\, staff and faculty. Participants will use mindful ness practices to uncover implicit biases within themselves to support thei r work toward positive change. Our brain focuses on protecting us and can inhibit our ability to lean into the discomfort of acknowledging bias and s taying in difficult discussions. We are better prepared to be partners in the work for positive social change when we:
1) Practice ways to mana
ge our “fight/flight/freeze” response and
2) Understand how our percep
tions impact our ability to be change agents.
These practices can bec ome tools for engaging in difficult conversation and anti-oppression work w ithout shutting down or getting burned out.
