Today is a LIVE class day! We will be meeting in our Virtual Classroom on Blackboard. See you there!

In larger groups, people may be less likely to intervene when they witness bullying, crime or other bad behaviours taking place- a phenomenon called the bystander effect

Asare, 2020

Today we will have a discussion about duty, responsibility, and microaggressions. We will start by discussing the George Floyd podcast you listened to earlier this week. You should have written some questions, thoughts, and gut reactions in your ePortfolio – bring these to class and be ready to discuss as a group.

We will also explore microaggressions and apply some of our learning to case scenarios in a breakout room activity.
