In the fourth session of our series on intersectionality, participants will discuss the differences between awareness, allyship, advocacy and activism. We will explore why it is important to have critical conversations about racism, misogyny, homophobia and xenophobia with our colleagues and students. Participants will also explore how to respond to fear and resistance, and why discomfort in conversations on equity can be uncomfortable but necessary. Participants will also share why it is imperative to explore identity in shared spaces with children and youth, and practice how to advocate for change within their workplace and institutions.
