Hello ION!
Next month the ION DEI committee will host "Rehearsals for Life", a grad student led group that provides interactive workshops on addressing difficult situations, based on scenarios that they act out, together with audience participation and discussion. These scenarios incorporate issues including confronting inappropriate behavior, handling power dynamics, and building positive interactions in diverse groups. I attended one of their workshops before the pandemic, and it was a very powerful and valuable experience.
The workshop is open to everyone in ION - students, postdocs, faculty, and staff - and in fact is designed to explore interactions across these different groups as well as different cultural backgrounds, gender, etc.
Tuesday, May 23
3:30-5:00pm
Lawrence 166 (new location! map.uoregon.edu)
We hope to see you there!
