Workshop description:

This workshop invites participants to identify where misogynoir exists in their lives and begin the long processual work of learning how to uproot it. By the end of the workshop participants should be able to identify misogynoir, intervene when appropriate to stop misogynoir, and imagine new ways of relating to those who experience misogynoir.
