Abstract

This workshop focuses on the prejudices and privileges we hold as individuals, and in particular their relevance for researchers working internationally. We will reflect on how our thinking and behaviour are shaped by the colonial past of research in the global South. The goal of the workshop is ultimately to make visible and disrupt racist and discriminatory practices in research and teaching.

Objective

Learning goals: - Learn to recognise our prejudices and privileges, and how to take responsibility for them - Learn strategies to identify discrimination and break down attitudes shaped by prejudice - Become empowered to speak on prejudice, privilege and discrimination

Content

In this workshop, participants will learn key concepts, as well as concrete tools for action. They will be encouraged to reflect on their own experiences, and will be guided in participatory learning in the following areas: - Contextualising diversity, equity, and inclusion issues within an international research and teaching setting - Understanding and reflecting on own privilege and prejudice - Intervention strategies when encountering prejudice and discrimination - Toolbox for working in diverse teams
