A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
The Office of Intercultural Literacy, Capacity and Engagement (ILCE) provides resources for faculty, staff, and community partners to support excellence in scholarship, teaching and engagement with diversity, equity, and inclusion. The ILCE offers a few peer-to-peer programs on these topics: (1) Critical Conversations - A space for informal, unfussy, intellectual, peer-to-peer dialogue - Helps faculty, staff, and students recognize and address implicit bias to enhance diversity and inclusion on campus. - Explore how implicit bias impacts institutions of higher education in regards to recruitment, work, student outcomes, and relationships. - Help inform perceptions about implicit bias and future actions to support a welcoming, inclusive community at IUPUI. The ILCE Office sponsors monthly Critical Conversations where participants can engage in a timely issue over the lunch hour. These Critical Conversations provide informal collegial space to dialogue about issues of social justice, equity, and inclusion and are open to IUPUI faculty, staff, students, and the Indianapolis community. Est 25 participants/monthly 1 hr session More information: https://diversity.iupui.edu/offices/ilce/critical-conversation.html (2) Intergroup Dialogue Intergroup Dialogue is a facilitated peer-to-peer conversation platform between individuals from two or more social identity groups that have a history of conflict or potential conflict. It is a sustained communication process involving a series of meetings and emphasizing issues related to social justice, social group membership, identity, and the positionality (privilege and oppression) of groups. A dialogue typically involves 15-20 participants whose social identity provides general parity between the two groups represented (e.g., women & men; people of color & white people; LGBT persons & heterosexuals, etc.). 3) Creating Racially Inclusive Classrooms The White Racial Literacy Project presents this yearlong, monthly interactive faculty webinar, featuring Dr. Kathy Obear of the Center for Transformation and Change. Faculty enrolled in this workshop will take part in an experience that will change the way they see the classroom, understand how whiteness shows up in the classroom and curriculum, and learn skills to ensure all students are included in and have the opportunity to learn from the courses they teach. The yearlong workshop includes reviewing 30-minute informational recordings Dr. Obear makes specifically for IUPUI prior to virtual in- person sessions with Dr. Obear to unpack the information shared in the recordings, group work and discussions. In addition, faculty will take “deep dives” into subjects on alternating months in preparation for the next 30-minute recorded and virtual in-person sessions with Dr. Obear. https://diversity.iupui.edu/initiatives/training-education/index.html 4) Implicit Bias Workshops In response to multiple requests, the Division of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is offering Implicit Bias Workshops with facilitation provided by the Peace Learning Center, the same agency that provided Executive Search Committee Implicit Bias Trainings for two years at IUPUI. Limited to 50 participants per workshop, these trainings will be highly interactive and require attendance at two, 90-minute webinars. Upon completion, those who attend the entirety of both workshops will receive a Certificate of Completion. https://diversity.iupui.edu/initiatives/training-education/Implicit-Bias-Training.html
