DESCRIPTION:Dear students\, faculty and staff from the Faculty of Science\,
 \n\nScience is for everyone\, but some people face inequities or barriers 
 that discourage them from pursuing their interests in STEM fields. Would y
 ou like to understand these topics more deeply\, and practice being an act
 ive bystander when possible? Have you heard the words 'microaggression' or
  'allyship' and wondered what the fuss is all about? Or wondered what you 
 can do to help promote a positive climate for all?\n\nIf you answered yes 
 to any of these questions\, please join us in a series of three workshops 
 targeted specifically for people in STEM: undergrads\, grad students\, pos
 tdocs\, lecturers\, faculty\, staff - everyone is welcome!\n\nWorkshop det
 ails: \n\nTh Feb 29\, 2:30 – 4:30pm in room ARTS 150: Workshop #1. The Def

 st'\, and how this impacts belonging and success in STEM for various peopl
 e.\n\nTh Mar 21\, 2:30 – 4:30pm in room ARTS 150: Workshop #2. Mind the Mi
 croaggressions.\n\nLearn about microaggressions in science\, how and why t
