Registration:
Join us for a lunchtime conversation about how microaggressions can impact people’s feelings of belonging and safety in a work environment, and the ways we can notice and lessen microaggressions more effectively. Next, we’ll discuss how members underrepresented groups may adjust their language, behavior, and appearance to fit into the dominant workplace culture, and the ways that impacts their career experience. 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..
