Session

If you have registered for this workshop the speakers ask you to have some paper and coloured pens ready as you will get creative during the session – however no artistic ability required.

This workshop will encourage participants to consider equality and diversity beyond the ‘protected characteristics’ of gender, ethnicity, age and disability. We will introduce the philosophical lens of epistemic injustice and the workshop will consider hermeneutic and testimonial injustice. Practical examples will be used to invite consideration of micro-inequity, micro disadvantage, and micro messages and effective ‘by stander intervention’.

Participants will be introduced to an innovative graphic methodology to document their personal experience and share in small groups using appreciative inquiry. No artistic ability is required. This methodology is rich in visual metaphors and appeals to international audiences. Drawing on positive psychology and using a novel creative methodology creating autotelic ‘flow’ (M .Csíkszentmihályi). Sharing narratives in small groups creates a ‘community of practice’ and appreciative inquiry from peers is affirming.

Participants will gain a broader under standing of inequity and approaches to challenge it. They will learn a new reflective methodology and benefit from peer feedback.
