In this workshop, participants from STEMM communities will receive an introduction to what EDI pushback can look like and what can be done about it. Learners will engage with basic terminology relating to pushback, common scenarios in STEMM fields, and strategies to navigate real-world situations. They will also explore how to debrief after pushback occurs. This workshop has heavy role-playing elements to best provide tactics for participants.
