Description:
Issues that impact marginalized populations are on the rise during the time of the COVID pandemic. This open Q&A will give participants a chance to interact with NABITA instructors on ways to engage in these hard conversations on campus. Unlike our webinar programs, this Talking BITs program adopts a flexible approach to addressing concerns and sharing well-worn advice and practical examples.
In this session, you will learn:
- Cultural issues that impact the workplace in terms of respect and communications.
- The definition of microaggressions and how these occur in everyday life.
- How microaggressions impact LGBT individuals, mental health, and different cultural groups.
