The Master of Arts in Education is a versatile program offering a strong educational background to college faculty, administrators, support staff, student affairs officials, and training & development leaders across many industries. Alumni have gone on to become presidents, deans, vice presidents, directors and distinguished faculty in the Ontario college system.

Objective: To explore the impact of racial microaggressions in the virtual environment and discuss strategies for addressing racial microaggressions in the virtual environment.
Racial microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults toward racialized people. Perpetrators of microaggressions are often unaware that they engage in such communications when they interact with racialized people.
This workshop provides college faculty, staff and administrators with an introduction to racial microaggressions and their numerous manifestations in educational settings.
It will explore the outcomes associated with the experience of microaggressions as well as providing recommendations on how to minimize the occurrence of microaggressions and ways to respond when someone has been microaggressive.

Objective: To explore “implicit bias” and the ways that implicit bias impacts decision making in post-secondary.
We all have bias. Bias is part of the human condition and helps us sort through massive amounts of information. Bias; however, can distort our worldview leading to biased decision making that is largely unconscious and implicit. “Part of learning about unconscious bias is realizing that our brains are capable of making assumptions and creating mental shortcuts without us even being aware” (Rudman et al., 2009).
This interactive workshop will look at implicit bias and the impact of implicit bias on decision-making. Using case studies, this workshop will go deeper into the ways that implicit bias can manifest, specifically in post-secondary education.
