We receive messages of stereotypes and assumptions at an early age from various socializers. This session will focus on what those messages are and where they came from and how they were reinforced throughout our lives. Participants will have an opportunity to identify experiences that have consciously and unconsciously shaped their identities, assumptions about other people and their worldview. Participants will also have an opportunity to reflect on how to unlearn those messages in order to reduce the impact in our workplaces, schools, communities, etc., as well as break the cycle of socialization.
