What You Can Expect at the Lived Experience Study Day:
What people said about the last event:
“The speakers were fantastic and the conversations after the presentation were also nuanced, critical and relevant to changing HEI. I think I learned something in
each session, but the sessions on neurodiversity and the information/library studies were particularly useful because I am unfamiliar with these fields. The whole day gave me a lot to think about.”
“The presentations were excellent, insightful, experience near and thought-provoking. I also enjoyed the discussions evoked following the presentations. This was amazing and would love to attend more of these events with Race Reflections. I always get so much out of them. thank you!”
“This was the best event I’ve attended in the year of Race Reflections training. While not wanting to diminish the challenges, obstacles and traumatic
experiences that the speakers so eloquently spoke about, I left the event feeling hopeful about academia. Most days I wish I’d never come into academia when I think about the inequality, and the direction HEIs are going in, but the conference was inspiring and hopeful. It has given me the impetus to hold a workshop with my colleague (who also attended this event and the Race Reflections training) for our Institute where we can raise the ideas, concepts and learnings we have encountered through the Race Reflections training
and the conference and start to try to make changes locally and foster allyship.”
