Cultivating Collegial Spaces *for Concordia Faculty and Staff only* Relationships with colleagues are valuable and often a source of satisfaction and sense of connection in the academy. These relationships can further extend our impact and enhance departmental reputations and that of the university as a whole. Occasionally, these relationships are tested in minor and major ways with the potential for significant consequences both professionally and personally. In this session we will engage in open dialogue with the intention of deepening skills to manage relationships specifically with colleagues. We will identify behaviours in the academic context, interpersonal and systemic, that are damaging to collegial spaces as well as some ways forward. Using scenarios, we will explore a range of approaches which contribute to a healthy work environment. The deadline to register is Friday, February 7 at 12:00pm. Following the deadline and prior to the session participants will receive the location. Please note the session that you have registered for in your calendars. Session occurrence is dependent on registration numbers. There is limited capacity. Thank you for your interest. Session Details Date: Wednesday, February 12 Time: 10am to 12pm Location: TBD

A microaggression is a brief, however commonplace verbal or behavioral action. These actions communicate negative and harmful messages towards, and about, individuals or groups that are historically underserved and underrepresented. How do microaggressions manifest in the workplace, and what impacts do they have on a person or group? Through a guided conversation, this workshop will help participants become aware of their own biases, understand the impact of microaggressions, and consider how they can intervene when they occur to help create a more supportive work and/or learning environment.

This workshop will explore what it means to make “good trouble.” Making "good trouble", as described by Civil Rights Leader and Congressman John Lewis is doing “something out of the ordinary,” to make “a way out of no way.” As per Flint and Toledo (2021): "Troubling is about how we relate as we live and become together in the world." Together, we will use the concept of 'troubling' as a framework that notices and names injustices. We will also consider how we can create new ways of relating to one another in order to coexist in a good way. By the end of this session, participants will identify practical strategies for making "good trouble."

In 2008, Critical Race Theorist William Smith coined the term Racial Battle Fatigue to describe the experiences of African American men. However, the term has since gained momentum and is now used to describe the snowballing effects of microaggressions and other negative racially charged experiences of people of colour. Smith defines Racial Battle Fatigue as the “cumulative result of a natural race-related stress response to distressing mental and emotional conditions. These conditions emerged from constantly facing racially dismissive, demeaning, insensitive and/or hostile racial environments and individuals” (Smith et al. 2011). In this workshop, we will explore the effects of Racial Battle Fatigue on Black students, faculty and staff in higher education, and consider how might work collectively to mitigate these experiences.
