Session II: "They didn't mean it like that": Navigating the minefield of micro-inequities and microaggressions

According to a study conducted by McKinsey & Company nearly 2 out of 3 women face every day gender and racial-based microaggressions in the workplace. Unrecognized and innocuous by nature, micro-inequities and microaggressions prevent the workplace from fostering a culture of inclusivity and belonging – which leads to less innovation, engagement and diverse leadership. In an interactive discussion, we will define what micro-inequities and microaggressions are, how to recognize them and the inclusive practices and strategic intervention tactics you can adopt to reduce harm.

Speakers

Sumantha R. Sedor, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright and Co-Chair of Minority Lawyers Network

Terra Davis, Client Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Manager, Norton Rose Fulbright

Closing remarks

D'Lesli M. Davis, US Head of Life Sciences and Healthcare, Norton Rose Fulbright
