Have you been told that you are a shoe-in for a new job “because you are a woman”? Are you tired of letting sexist and racist comments from others slip by without speaking up? Do you wish you had a toolbox of effective responses at your fingertips? Come to a workshop on strategies for responding well and constructively to micro aggressions and biases — whether you are the target of the comment or a bystander. This will be an interactive workshop, with lots of group discussion of different scenarios in different contexts.
