Oppression is a circumstance and a relational dynamic where certain ways of being, and where certain knowledges and experiences, are prioritized and privileged while others are pushed to the margins. Anti-oppression is understanding the dynamics of oppression and working against it. This workshop will provide educators and staff a space to identify the dynamics of oppression in their learning and working environments to consider how they can begin working towards creating anti-oppressive classrooms and spaces.

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.

The "hidden curriculum" is the unspoken norms and expectations in higher education that can influence students' learning experiences and success, often without their awareness. In this interactive session, we explored the concept of hidden curriculum, its impact on student success, and strategies for navigating and addressing implicit learning.

This workshop is designed to bring awareness to current and future researchers of the impact of research on Indigenous communities, collectives and organizations. Discussion topics include: access to communities; data management; Indigenous perspectives on and experiences with research; OCAP principles; intellectual property rights; and Indigenous research ethics and protocols. Participants will be invited to reflect on respectful and mutually beneficial ways to conduct research. They will also explore ways to facilitate Indigenous participation in research, building Indigenous research capacity and adequately preparing graduate students before they undertake research on Indigenous people and/or in their communities.

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."

How might we apply care ethics to our daily lives? How might it influence how we understand what is “good” and “right”? How does this apply to educational spaces? This workshop will draw on the work of Nicki Ward (Ethics of Care, 2015) to investigate the relationship between intersectionality and care ethics. It will consider how these two theoretical frameworks might complement each other through the exploration of their individual principles, and how they might expand our own understanding of the lived realities of care, identity and diversity.
