Registration:
Join us for a lunchtime conversation about two important identities that can impact people’s experiences in the workplace. Dr. Amy Fisher from Suffolk’s Interfaith Center will lead a conversation about how systemic bias can impact people’s careers based on their religious identity, and ways to foster more equity in that space. The conversation will continue with a focus on creating more awareness and equity in the career paths of people with disabilities. Lunch (pizza) will be served during this workshop.
About the Series
The Center for Career Equity, Development, and Success presents Equity at Work, an initiative designed to guide Suffolk students to better understand how social identities impact their own career experience and empower them to create more inclusive and just work environments as they engage in the workforce. The program will engage you in dialogue and self-reflection about privilege, power dynamics, and workplace bias while examining the intersectionality of gender, sexuality, race, (dis)ability, and other salient identities. There are 8 stand-alone Equity at Work sessions, and you can attend one or many of them. If you attend at least 4 in-person sessions, actively engaging in the discussions throughout the program, and complete the post-session reflections, you will earn a certificate of completion. Equity at Work will meet on Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m..
