SUMMARY:Nathan Hall - Let's Talk About Race: The Cost of Being Colour Blind at Work
DESCRIPTION:Local Immigration Partnership – Lanark and Renfrew and Algonquin College’s Inclusion Infusions presents:\nNathan Hall – Let’s Talk About Race: The Cost of Being Colour Blind at Work\n\nTuesday\, September 20th\n10:00am-11:00am Presentation\n11:00am-11:30am Q&A\n\nThe facts are clear. The experiences of racialized groups within organizations are different. White privilege exists. There is unconscious bias that disproportionately affects racialized groups. There are likely different standards being held for different people. Convincing yourself that race does not play any role within your company will continue to isolate people and sustain the issue. Join Nathan Hall as he explores all these topics and shares his extensive expertise in this area.\n\nThis event is open to Algonquin College staff\, faculty\, students\, and members of the community.\n\nRegistration is required. Get your free tickets here.
