“Isms” based on social constructs (e.g., race, gender, age, class, religion, economics, political affiliation, color, national origin, disability, etc.) have existed throughout human history. It has produced wars, slavery, the creation of nations and legal codes.

Participants will:
- Define and review terminology related to “Isms”
- Examine historical and current events to understand how “Isms” operates today
- Identify resources to support anti-bias, discrimination and inequities.
