Teaching for Prejudice Reduction: How to Turn Your Classroom into an Intervention with Dr. Alicia Nordstrom
Friday, April 4, 2025
12:30pm EST
Online via Zoom
In this webinar, Alicia will share bias-reduction and compassion-promoting assignments, activities and approaches from small steps to the bold and the beautiful. Learn how to build rapport and trust in just one class period, turn your course into a model of shared authority by shrinking the power gap between instructor and student, and explore Alicia's class assignment, The Voices Project, empirically supported to reduce racism and mental health stigma in college students. The most recent version of the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psych Major 3.0 (2023) has tasked us with "empowering people to make a difference in their lives and communities" so if this is your goal, this is the webinar for you.
