Course Title: Leveraging the Intersections of Our Social Identities in Order to Be Our Best Selves At Work and At Play

Facilitator: Douglass L. Jackson, DMD, MS, PhD

Workshop Description:
“Who we are, or who are seen to be, matters enormously”  Richard Jenkins, 2004

We are the sum of our many social identities. Some of our social identities may seem rather mundane, even invisible to those around us, while others may be perceived as quite extraordinary. Some may even present us with challenges that those around us may or may not see. Attendees of this participatory session will do some self-exploration of their social identities, and by its conclusion they will:

• Understand and be more aware of how their many social identifies influence their everyday lives, including how they do their work within the profession, 
• Appreciate the power of bias, both conscious and unconscious, and how it can limit productivity and innovation in social and work settings,
• Understand how our social identities have helped form some of our biases, and
• Develop skills (and action plans) needed to mitigate such biases in situations where they could cause harm.

Event Date: Tuesday, February 25th, 2025
Event Time: 6:00pm-9:00pm
Event Location:  The Golf Club at Newcastle
