Our TODOS initiative focuses on results/outcomes of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion measures put in place to remove the barriers keeping students and educational institutions of diverse economic, educational, ethnic, and social backgrounds from studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. We created the TODOS Sounding Board Webinar Series to discuss topics surrounding D/E/I in the field of international education. You can find various resources from the series below.

 

IMAGINING RADICAL POSSIBILITIES & PRIDE: THE FUTURE OF LGBTQIA+ INCLUSION IN EDUCATION ABROAD

Monday, January 23rd 2023

With an increasing number of young adults self-identifying as members of the LGBTQIA+ community, international higher education, and education abroad programs specifically, have the potential and the responsibility to positively impact, affirm, and empower generations of queer students; many of whom may come from various political and cultural contexts that seek to do the opposite (“Don’t Say Gay” laws, book bans, etc.). Attend this critical community discussion to hear from students and staff already engaged in this important work and to join Barcelona SAE as we radically imagine and commit to a bold and inclusive future for LGBTQIA+ students abroad.

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH CRITICAL RACE THEORY (CRT)? A PANEL ON THE LINKS BETWEN INTERCULTURAL LEARNING, CULTURE AND RACE

Wednesday, June 22nd 2022

This interactive webinar will feature a presentation and panel discussion by international educators on critical race theory. Our panelists will give a foundational knowledge of what critical race theory is (and what it is NOT), explore how we can move away from polarizing critical race theory, and analyze its links with intercultural learning, culture and race.  Participants will engage in interactive polling and discussion to raise self-awareness that can help to develop personal implementation strategies that are intercultural and CRT informed.

Seven Steps to Combat Unconscious Biases:

  1. Acknowledge that we are all biased – as human beings we are prone to mistakes – give yourself room to grow.
  2. Reframe the conversation focus on fair treatment and respect, and away from discrimination and “protected classes.”
  3. Evaluate often – and anonymously.
  4. Build in professional development that targets hidden bias, unfairness and excluding practices.
  5. Create space to file complaints (e.g. BSAE BIAS response form).
  6. Be intentional.  Positive images and stories are key!
  7. Reward or give positive reinforcement to those to step out of their comfort zone to improve diversity.

  • Project Implicit was founded in 1998 by three scientists – Dr. Tony Greenwald (University of Washington), Dr. Mahzarin Banaji (Harvard University), and Dr. Brian Nosek (University of Virginia). Project Implicit Health (formerly Project Implicit Mental Health) launched in 2011 and is led by Dr. Bethany Teachman (University of Virginia) and Dr. Matt Nock (Harvard University). The mission of Project Implicit is to educate the public about bias and to provide a “virtual laboratory” for collecting data on the internet. Project Implicit scientists produce high-impact research that forms the basis of our scientific knowledge about bias and disparities. Take the test here.

ADDRESSING RACISM HEAD-ON: WHAT TO DO ABOUT RACISM ONSITE, EVEN IN OUR OWN PROGRAMS

This panel will share their insights, challenges they’ve experienced and discuss some suggestions to combat this problem, including creating a sense of belonging for our students, faculty, and staff.
