The goal of this workshop is to address how our various identities and lived experiences impact our curriculum, the conversations we facilitate in class, and our interpersonal interactions with students. 

By the end of this workshop, students will have gained an understanding of the following:

• Identify instances where identities can impact the design and structure of the course
• Explain how our identities are always intersecting and in conversation with one another
• Brainstorm opportunities to be an advocate for students in the classroom
