Workshops offered
Social Identities (in collaboration with IGR)
What are social identities? This session is an opportunity for you to increase your awareness of social identities and consider how these identities influence you in different social contexts such as the various ways your social identities are felt more or less salient at different times. If you are a group of undergraduate students, you may request this workshop directly from the IGR's CommonGround.

- Build awareness of one's social identities, including recognizing marginalized and privileged identities
