GA16: Embracing Diversity in Community College
Hours: 1.5
This session will explore the intersection of various parts of our identities and the concepts of power and privilege in regards to working with students. This will help shape your conversations with students from a variety of backgrounds and also help you relate to them on a more personal level.
Participants in this workshop will be able to speak more openly and comfortably about topics related to identity, power, and privilege. Participants will gain a better understanding of the diversity within ACC students, faculty, and staff. Participants will also be provided with resources to continue these conversations regarding diversity in a college setting.
