This is a 4-part series designed to give folks of all levels at NCAR and UCAR an introductory crash-course in issues around diversity, equity & inclusion. The four sessions are held monthly, and cover privilege (i.e. how and in what ways some people can navigate our society and systems more easily than others), gender in the workplace, race, and bystander intervention training, which is hands-on interactive training about how to intervene in situations that don't feel right. </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Each session is preceded by about 2-3 hours of readings and videos that you are asked to watch/read on your own time, so everyone arrives prepared for the discussion. </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The sessions are designed to be an introductory and safe space, so we do not expect any prior training - just an interest in the subject, and a willingness to have an open mind and to listen and consider other people's worldviews.
