Equality Reviews

Excellent in- quality of information, short and concise slides, interactive slides, different learning approaches. Improve- add more examples or summary questions to touch upon more subjects or criterias.

As well as the quality of information being excellent, having the slides short and concise is great. Implementing summary questions, interactive slides, and take a break slides is also a great thing. Using real life situations clips and imagery for information. Not to mention the highlighting of the text in conjunction with the person speaking was done well. Improvements, try to include more examples or questions for the learning part as some were skipped over and people might want to be more educated in that area.

Similarly, the course assumes that religion is a matter of ceremony and not morality, and assumes that we should passively accept where others are engaged in immoral behaviour or where their identity doesn’t conform to reality. This feeds into the bias towards subjectivity Рfor example it is derogatory comments regularly expressed that constitute harassment and not primarily the feelings of those on the end of them. Feelings are a consequence of the unacceptable behaviour and are a flawed judge. Further, the course doesn’t touch on where the requirements of certain identities conflict Рfor example men who identify as women desiring to use female facilities, or where a religi

This is a well presented and thought provoking workshop that does not preach (or at least, only rarely) but poses astute questions and encourages reflection. It could possibly seek to address some of the confusions and reservations that exist, e.g. the statement "That if someone feels harassed (and BTW ha'rest, not h'rassed) then they are being harrased" leaves many believing that assertion can encourage neurosis or attention seeking, or even in some cases result in reverse vindictiveness. I feel that a very good programme would be become an excellent one, if some of those "mainstream" fears along with those of inadvertent transgression were to be addressed head on
