Resources

NYU has an institutional membership with Academic Impressions—an online professional development resource hub that delivers a range of both in-person and online resources to help better equip faculty with the tools to lead and become leaders in their respective departments, programs, offices, and/or administrative units.

Below are the initial offerings. For more information on when the next sessions will be offered, please contact sps.inclusion@nyu.edu.

• Social Identity, Privilege, Intersectionality Dialogue - Our social identity affects how we relate with the world and each other. Certain social identities come with privilege - unearned social power granted to those in dominant groups. These forms of privilege intersect in complex and nuanced ways to form powerful systemic structures that continue to oppress marginalized groups. In this interactive dialogue, participants will reflect on their own social identities and how they intersect, forms of privilege, and taking actions steps to create change in their own spheres of influence.

What are some strategies you can use to address microaggressions?"This session is an interactive workshop and includes collaborative dialogue around understanding, preventing, and addressing microaggressions.
