Recently there has been much discussion about microaggressions, the subtle acts of exclusion that many people routinely experience. This interactive, virtual training, will explore the ways that implicit bias - including microaggressions - manifest in our lives and impact our relationships with others. Through case studies and discussion, participants will deepen their understanding of implicit bias, learn how to identify microaggressions, and investigate strategies for responding effectively to microaggressions that they experience and commit. Participants will also learn about the NJ Law Against Discrimination and how microaggressions can contribute to a hostile work or school environment.

A study by the organization, More in Common, shows that 80 percent of Americans believe "political correctness is a problem in our country." Many people feel cynical about what they feel are the excesses of "wokeness" and "cancel culture." Yet bias incidents are on the rise in many communities, and talking about issues related to diversity is more important than ever. In this training, participants will explore current research on inclusive language and why it is an important part of dismantling bias. Through interactive exercises, participants will unpack current terminology related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and practice strategies for using the "launguage of diversity" in ways that promote understanding rather than division.

This training will focus on race discrimination based on hairstyle. It will cover the history of this type of discrimination and the Division on Civil Rights (DCR) investigation into a hairstyle-related incident at a high school wrestling match. It will also cover a guidance document issued by DCR explaining that race discrimination includes discrimination based on a trait inextricably intertwined or closely associated with race, such as hairstyle, and the CROWN Act, which codefies these protections into law in NJ and in other states.
