Abstract
We receive messages of stereotypes and assumptions at an early age. This session will focus on what those early messages are and where they come from. Participants will have an opportunity to identify experiences that have consciously and unconsciously shaped their identities, assumptions about others and people in their world view. Particpants will also reflect on how we can unlearn those messages in order to reduce the impact of bias on our students and communities.
