The purpose of this interactive workshop is to build awareness and understanding of exclusionary behaviors and to teach and practice effective bystander intervention in engineering academic and professional settings, as pathways to building culture and climate that promote equity and inclusion. The workshop includes an interactive PowerPoint presentation and breakout groups in which you will discuss and practice bystander intervention approaches in scenarios focused on common academic environments (e.g., faculty meetings and conferences) that are based on actual events. The skills developed in this workshop have usefulness in all aspects of life and work, including faculty and student interactions.
NSF CEAN is a partnership between faculty at Bourns College of Engineering (UC Riverside), NSF ADVANCEGeo, and the UC College of Engineering Deans Council. The workshop will be facilitated by Kelley Barsanti and Jay Farrell from NSF CEAN, and Blair Schneider from NSF ADVANCEGeo.
