3) Challenging Bias and Inequity While Maintaining Emotional Health
(Room E126C)
(Dr. Roxanna Harlow, Carroll Community College)
Faculty, staff, and administrators who professionally engage with issues of diversity, equity and inclusion, are familiar with the emotional strain of this work. Over the past year, however, the intensity of an already difficult job has increased, as overt expressions of prejudice, discrimination and bigotry have become more commonplace. This session will explore the types of challenges participants have experienced in this climate of pervasive prejudice. We’ll then discuss solutions for facilitating productive dialog while maintaining our emotional health.

Finally, participants will craft their resistance story.
