In this session, you'll hear from OSU's Director of Access and Affirmative Action on the dos and don'ts of having service and emotional support animals at campus events.
The presentation will introduce attendees to the newly updated OSU policy. Participants will learn how to interact with program participants who bring animals to their events, what they can and cannot ask, and how to address concerns that allowing animals might impact others.
This 60-minute session will provide a comprehensive overview of the hotline process, including what types of concerns should be reported, how reports are handled, and what information reporters can expect throughout the process. We will outline the steps taken to review and investigate reports, ensuring confidentiality and fairness.
Microaggressions are deceptively complex and addressing them is never as simple as we want it to be in the moment. Using insights from the most current research and the contexts that interest you, we will explore various actions and their potential outcomes. Bring your stories, and as always, your curiosity, to this interactive and research-based opportunity to further our understanding of microaggressions and our capacity to reconcile them when they do happen.
This workshop explores the connection between the good-bad binary we have been socialized with and the structures that maintain social oppression, not only in the world around us but also within us. How might our self-perception of ourselves as “good” people actually get in the way of actualizing our best intentions? How does the good-bad binary engender fragility? Join your peers for a lively dive into some complex ideas, with ample room for discussion and reflection.
