Learning when and how to say ‘no’ can be a difficult task. What are boundaries? How do you have healthy, productive conversations about boundaries with your supervisor and other faculty members? Join us for this 90 minute workshop about setting boundaries as a graduate student. The presenters will work with our attendees to practice having conversations about setting healthy boundaries. We will also share university resources that can help you to succeed. Presentation will be via Zoom.

Self-reflection is an important part of the social change process. Our 90-minute Social Identity 101 workshop offers participants a guided opportunity to dive deeper into understanding their social identities and privileges. Participants will learn how social identity connects to oppression, debunk the myth of reverse oppression, and identify ways they can leverage privilege(s) and/or power for advocacy and social change.

This 2-hour workshop focuses on how we can address microaggressions. Participants will learn microintervention strategies that can be used when we experience or witness a microaggression, as well as strategies for how to hold ourselves accountable and offer meaningful apologies if we are told we’ve enacted a microaggression. This is an interactive workshop, and participants will have numerous opportunities to practice these strategies as well as reflect on how they can use them moving forward.
