This session focuses on ways faculty, through their classroom teaching, can contribute to a welcoming campus climate for a diverse range of students at U-M. Specifically, participants will develop their skills for preventing, identifying, and responding to identity-based microaggressions among students in undergraduate classrooms. The workshop will also introduce faculty to a new U-M Student Life initiative called Change It Up, a bystander intervention program (offered to all first-year students in Fall of 2014) that teaches students specific strategies for intervening when they witness behaviors that might lead to a hostile climate for students based on their social identities. The program suggests that faculty are important allies in addressing behaviors that can create a hostile climate. This workshop is designed to prepare faculty to play such an ally role.
