Multicultural and Social Justice Education Workshops

The IU Indianapolis Multicultural Center’s Multicultural Peer Educators (MPEs) are undergraduate students committed to promoting multicultural and social justice education through understanding of self and others, while increasing awareness and knowledge of diversity, equity, and inclusion-related issues through intentional and meaningful dialogue. Our MPE’s receive top-notch training from the MC Staff to conduct an array of workshops for IU Indianapolis students.

At this time, workshops can only be scheduled by emailing mced@iupui.edu. Workshops will not be offered during school breaks, after the last week of November and after the second week of April.

At this time we offer the following one-hour workshops for your students:

This workshop is an introduction to diversity at IU Indianapolis. We address how diversity is represented on campus, how IU Indianapolis defines diversity, and the role that the Multicultural Center has on campus.
Deepen knowledge and awareness about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and understand the value of multiple perspectives.
Explore how our multiple cultural and social identities, values, and beliefs influence our sense of self and how we relate to one another.
Highly recommended as a building block for our other workshops.

This workshop engages participants to understand what some of our biases and stereotypes are, where they come from, and their significance.
Explore our personal level of understanding, awareness, and behaviors toward different groups.
Develop competencies to examine and challenge bias and stereotypes.

This workshop introduces participants to the concepts of power and privilege and how they affect us all.
Develop an understanding of how power and privilege exist and function, how they overlap with each other, and how they impact our view of the world.

This workshop introduces participants to the concept of microaggressions.
Explore the experiences and outcomes associated with microaggressions, and develop techniques to respond to microaggressions when they occur to you or someone else.

This presentation introduces students to the differences between diversity, multiculturalism and social justice along with exploring contemporary social issues.
Students will participate in an interactive activity that allows them to see their role in the social justice process and discusses ways in which they can engage in social justice activities on campus.
