Part 1: Transformative Communities of Practice

Transformative communities of practice are intentional about acknowledging and respecting the unbreakable bonds of humanness--even when harm is caused and especially when power dynamics are at play. While creating mechanisms, processes, and practices that allow for purposeful engagement and value alignment, members also cultivate an expansive imagination for the ways we can be and learn together.

Despite our best efforts, no organization can avoid the very real impacts of micro and macro aggressions and "diversity related incidents" that cause deep harm to individuals and communities. Learn more about the ways bias impact may present or "show up" for different people and circumstances.

I really enjoyed this session. I would really like to learn how restorative practices can be applied outside of bias incidences (e.g., general community climate in my department, classroom setting, dealing with violations of academic integrity, etc).
