Karen Kassebaum, director of staff diversity and inclusion, will lead an “Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts!” training session at 2 p.m. Oct. 23 in the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center.
The session is the first Association for Women in Science event for faculty in the 2018-19 academic year.
The objective of the “Ouch!” program is to help participants:
Understand the impact of stereotypes and biased statements, even when casually used;
Identify the most common reasons people sit silent in the face of bias and stereotypes; and
Enhance individual skills for speaking up against stereotypes without blame or guilt.
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln became an institutional partner in the Association for Women in Science in 2017. As a part of the partnership, all Nebraska students — undergraduates and graduates — have free membership in the association.
