Our Shared Spaces - Fostering Inclusive Communities

What is anti-oppression? What is anti-racism? What is netiquette? How can I leverage my curiosity to create more inclusive communities? In this webinar, participants will learn about terminology related to equity-centred education. They will then use that knowledge, as well as their previous experiences, to discuss how they can help create inclusive virtual communities.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

- Identify terminology related to anti-oppression and inclusivity.
- Reflect on how systems of oppression appear in everyday life.
- Describe how systems of oppression manifest in a virtual context.

IMPORTANT: Students must register with their official McGill email address in order for the registration to be valid.
