Office of Equity Workshop: Prejudice, Racism and Discrimination – Use the Right Word for the Right Issue

This 90-minute interactive workshop helps participants understand the key differences between prejudice, racism, and discrimination — terms often used interchangeably but with very different implications. Through practical definitions and real-world scenarios, attendees will learn to identify whether a situation involves interpersonal prejudice, institutional racism, or structural racism, as well as practice using precise language to improve clarity and communication.
