  3. Think Pair Share In what way has the current political climate influenced your work?

  4. Hallmarks of a Post-Truth Era • Divisive and Extreme Rhetoric • Neglects objective fact and/or lacks details • Highly personalized • Information overload • Appeal to emotion • Consolidates power

  5. What’s at Stake? • Democracy (World Economic Forum, 2013) • Trust (Carlin & Love, 2013; Lewandowsky, Ecker, & Cook, 2017) • Decision-Making(Godlee, Smith, & Marcovitch, 2011)

  6. #metoo • 'I'm not ashamed' and 'I'm not alone.' • 'I see you, I hear you, I understand you and I'm here for you or I get it.‘” • Tanya Burke, 2017

  7. Intersectionality • Stems from scholarship of feminist women of color (Collins, 1990; Crenshaw,1989) https://www.ted.com/speakers/kimberle_crenshaw

  8. How to Understand Intersectionality Beaded Necklace Model Cake Model (Ken, 2010; Spellman, 1990)

  9. Addressing Model (Hayes, 2001)

  10. Think Pair Share • Think about the ADDRESSING model in relation to yourself: • On which characteristics does your social group have power, and on which does it have less power? • Which of these characteristics do you routinely think of as part of your identity while you are at work? • At this conference, which characteristics are most represented and which are not?

  11. Intersectionality & Invisibility On memory tasks, people are: • Least likely to remember photos of Black women (Sesko & Biernat, 2010) • Least likely to remember famous speeches by Black women (Biernat & Sesko, 2013)

  12. The Paradox: Hypervisibility

  13. Climate Matters… • Microaggression: brief, everyday act of bias, whether intentional or unintentional, that demean and insult a person based on that individuals identity (Sue, 2010)

  14. Think Pair Share • Review the Example Microaggressions: • Have you or anyone you know ever experienced incidents like these? How did you handle it? • Can you think of a time when you inadvertently said or did something that you didn’t intend to be offensive, but that was perceived as offensive? If so, how did you handle it?

  15. Interpersonal Skills • Effective communication • Able to give and receive feedback/constructive criticism • Open-mindedness • Nonverbal skills of respect • Active listening skills • Articulate clear and succinct ideas Intrapersonal Skills • Self awareness • Ability to regulate unexpected emotions • Knowing personal strengths and limitations • Takes responsibility • Resiliency • Empathy

  16. Creating Networks • Allyship a lifelong process in which individuals who are privileged develop relationships with individuals who are marginalized as a way to address social injustice.
