“Fault Lines” Diversity Training with the Maynard Institute

The session will cover different forms of bias and the conditions where they are most likely to thrive. Attendees can expect to expand their understanding of how the Fault Lines®, biases, and microaggressions all come together to create untenable relationships with colleagues, community, and work environments.

The Maynard Institute works to help attendees understand microaggressions – what they are, who commits them, how they erode morale, and what you can do to stop them and hold colleagues accountable.

*This discussion will be tailored for WGAE members as determined by a pre-workshop survey distributed to attendees. This additional survey will be linked in your confirmation email. Please complete by EOD on Monday, June 10.
