It's ok to be uncomfortable day?

It's ok to be uncomfortable day!

We are going to focus on DEI quite a bit this year for our PD times.

If there isn't discomfort, we aren't doing it right.

We are going to talk about many things today, that (as far as I remember) we haven't really discussed in PD before. There may be things that make us uncomfortable, because we're not used to bringing those things out in the open. But we (the planning team) believe some discomfort is necessary for a day like this to be successful.

A father and his son are in a car accident. The father dies at the scene, and the son, badly injured, is rushed to the hospital. In the operating room, the surgeon looks at the boy and says, “I can’t operate on this boy. He is my son.”

How could this possibly be the case?

Researchers Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald perplex readers with this predicament in their book, Blind Spot: Hidden Biases of Good People: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0345528433/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_aCpODbBGN3CXW

Have you ever unintentionally offended someone (perhaps a coworker or student) based on their gender, nationality, culture, or race?

In fact, we encourage everyone to think about the idea that we all have our own biases, and we can all probably think of a time when we have unintentionally offended someone based on their gender, nationality, culture, or race.

Examples from the team!

How do you convey respectful curiosity?

As you consider your "ground rules," think about how you can convey respectful curiosity. Try to keep that in mind at all times.
