Colleen MacQuarrie and Sobia Ali-Faisal from the Department of Psychology will be facilitating a workshop on white privilege in the academy. They will be applying liberation psychological theory to:
- examine white privilege and white supremacy in the academy
- provide space for attendees to explore and navigate their emotions and thoughts around their own privilege, and 
- provide time to practice strategies to challenge their white privilege.

We are holding this workshop to support UPEI's efforts at honouring the TRC recommendations and creating a safe environment for everyone. (Side note: We will also be holding a workshop for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities on campus on March 4th. Please keep an eye out for a notice regarding that very soon.)

When: February 4th, 1 - 3pm
Where: Andrew Hall, Room 142
For: Faculty, staff, and students

It is a free workshop and refreshments will be provided.

Please feel free to email Sobia (sali@upei.ca) or Colleen (cmaquarrie@upei.ca) if you have any questions. 

We would like to thank the Department of Psychology, Office of the Dean of Arts, and Office of Vice-President Academic and Research for their support of the workshop.
