Doing Better at Brandeis Workshop Series
March 3, 2022
Dear Colleagues,
Last year, we asked faculty and staff to complete a workshop by the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) titled Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Violence & Accessibility at Brandeis University. This spring we are excited to announce a continuation of that programming through the Doing Better At Brandeis workshop series. Working with several campus partners, this workshop series is meant to build off of the foundation of last year’s programming, continuing to promote inclusion and understanding within our community (see workshop descriptions below). Using this registration link, you can sign up for one of the sessions scheduled for the spring semester. Our hope is to continue this workshop series in the next academic year, with additional workshops to be offered. You can find more detailed information about this workshop series on the Doing Better at Brandeis website.
The Doing Better At Brandeis (DD@B) workshops include:
- Creating a Gender Inclusive Working and Learning Environment: Helping Trans and Gender-Non-Binary People by the Gender & Sexuality Center (GSC)- creating a more inclusive and equitable learning experiences for trans and gender-nonconforming students
- Inclusive Pedagogy for Educational Equity: Small Steps, Big Impacts by Student Accessibility Support (SAS) - implementing academic disability accommodations and utilizing Universal Design for Learning in the classroom
- Accessibility as Equity in Student Services and Campus Operations by Student Accessibility Support (SAS) - understanding disability as a form of diversity, and in implementing fundamental accessibility practices in interactions with students and in event planning
- Engaging with Difficult Conversation & Challenging Behaviors by the University Ombuds - helping individuals gain approaches to difficult conversations that staff, faculty, students, may experience, at Brandeis and beyond
