The Student Success (EDI) Project invites you to their fourth mini seminar. The seminar “Micro-affirmation in theory and practice: a strategy for addressing educational attainment gaps or a misdirection of focus and effort?” will be delivered by Prof Toni Williams, Head of Kent Law School on:
– Wednesday 10 May 2017, Canterbury Campus, Woolf College, Seminar Room 6, 1pm – 2pm.
This session surveys literature on micro-affirmation, which mostly focuses on its contribution to enhancing equality and inclusivity in the workplace, and considers whether the development of consciously micro-affirmatory practice in higher education has the potential to reduce established and persistent attainment gaps.
A KentPlayer recording of this seminar will be made available on the staff only page of the Student Success website for colleagues who are unable to attend.
The purpose of the event is to allow colleagues from across the University to meet and exchange ideas. All staff are invited to attend so please do circulate this invitation to colleagues.
