CBE Seminar Series: Diversity and Inclusion Program, CBE

Description

Spread the Word Workshop Series: Microaggressions The term microaggression has become a buzzword that pops out everywhere. Discussions around them show up in the news, in academic circles, on the internet, and even here in Cornell. However, we might not all have a clear idea of what they are, and why they matter. The goal of this workshop, part of the Spread the Word Series, is to explore together these very questions. By the end, you will have a clear idea of what microaggressions are, how they affect us in our daily lives, and how we can respond to them. About DIP: The Diversity and Inclusion Program (DIP) was born as an initiative to cultivate a culture of respect among identities and backgrounds within the Robert F. Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. We are committed to providing opportunities and skills that build a more equitable community where every faculty, student, post-doc, and staff member feels valued. To achieve this goal, the DIP offers opportunities for skill development, social interactions, and learning to the CBE community.
