Description
Learning Outcomes:
After participating in this program participants will be able to:
• Describe why and how an active bystander can respond to any microaggression
• Articulate the various factors that must be taken into consideration when deciding to take action
• Identify strategies that best align with their strengths and personality
• Practice utilizing strategies using real examples from everyday life

Description
All too often we witness subtle comments or behaviors rooted in bias that cause harm to others, sometimes unintentionally and frequently directed toward people from marginalized social identity groups. Have you ever witnessed a bias incident such as a microaggression and wanted to intervene, but didn't know what to say or do? Becoming an active bystander involves recognizing a bias incident and saying or doing something to stop the harm. Anyone can become an active bystander and learn to address bias in everyday interactions. In this 90-minute workshop, we will explore some of the most commonly encountered expressions of bias and identify tools participants can use to interrupt bias in daily life. Participants will practice what they have learned using real-life scenarios throughout the session
