This presentation introduces “respectful risk-taking” as a framework to help students recognize their cultural lens, appreciate diverse perspectives, and view difference as an opportunity for collaboration. The presentation will also recommend and provide examples of micro-assertions—subtle but intentional practices that invite and encourage marginalized voices to join the dialogue.”
