CATalyst Interactive Experiences

This interactive session delves into the complexities of personal and assigned identities and the importance of understanding and respecting these facets. Participants will engage in dialogue about difficult topics, recognizing that identity is influenced by personal attributes, sociocultural factors, and the context of our lives. We will discuss and reflect on the impact of language and words, addressing notions of privilege and intersectionality. By presenting our real selves and sharing personal experiences, we can foster a respectful, learning-focused dialogue about identities ranging from race and gender to religion and sexual orientation.
