What Organizations Can Do to Address the “Isms”
The “Isms” is an umbrella term used by the NCCC to refer to a range of attitudes and behaviors that involve perceived superiority, oppression, prejudice, and discrimination based
on such factors as race, national origin, ethnicity, language, class, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression.
The objectives covered in this webinar include:
1. Recognize, describe, and convey to others behaviors that demonstrate the “Isms.”
2. Describe approaches to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for individuals of all races,
ethnicities, cultural groups, and abilities.
3. Describe how to plan and conduct discussions for staff, faculty, students, self-advocates, and
community members about the “Isms.”
4. List conflict management frameworks that are useful in addressing the “Isms.”
5. Gauge which behaviors associated with the “Isms” rise to the level of warranting legal interventions
