Webinar, But is it really "just" science? Engaging critical race theory to unpack racial oppression
Disseminated through the culture of science (i.e., norms, values, beliefs, and practices), is the underlying message that there is but one "universal truth" regarding what is or what counts as scientific knowledge, research, and general practice. This culture and subsequent message have implications for who is recognized as being a scientist, or a validated member of the scientific community, and the process by which one gains such recognition.

Webcast, Overcoming Microaggressions as a Faculty Member
As faculty in higher education, you have likely received some campus training on microaggressions. However, the way these incidents show up between and among faculty, administrators, and students is often very different from how they display in other areas of campus. If you are a woman or underrepresented faculty, have you reflected on how microaggressions might be disrupting your work?
Web Talk, Including students in understanding implicit bias
We all have unique qualities that make us, us. Upon self-reflection, those elements that shape our identity can shape how we perceive those round us, either consciously or subconsciously. Our subconscious perceptions of others and how we react to them are often referred to as implicit bias, which can be both positive and negative.
