Abstract

This workshop focuses on the prejudices and privileges we hold as individuals. Interrogating and understanding the colonial and racist past of research in the global South and, in turn, how it shapes our behaviour and actions today, are key to thinking differently and to avoid reproducing racist and discriminatory practices.

Learning Objectives

The goal of the workshop is to create inclusive and non-discriminatory environments. To that end participants learn to recognise their own and others' prejudice and privileges; although it is not our fault that we have them, it is in everyone’s responsibility to learn how to overcome them to avoid discrimination. During the workshop, participants reflect on their own and others' prejudices and privileges and their impact on others. Ultimately, they learn strategies to identify discrimination, break down attitudes shaped by prejudice and constructively interrupt discriminatory behaviour.

The course takes place on April 27 and 29, from 9:00 to 13:00 CET at ETH Zentrum (room TBD).
