Description
The interactive in-person workshop invites doctoral researchers to explore how cultural backgrounds, disciplinary norms and social identities shape the ways we think, communicate and collaborate in research contexts. We will examine intercultural differences in everyday academic work, while also looking critically at the risks of culturalisation, stereotyping and unequal power dynamics. Building on this foundation, the workshop introduces concepts such as privilege, microaggressions, everyday racism and micro-inclusion. Participants will reflect on their own roles and spheres of influence, and develop practical strategies for self-care, allyship, calling in and calling out, appreciative communication and inclusive collaboration. Together, the group will also explore how to build a shared culture of belonging and care, for supporting each other and navigating potentially challenging interactions with people and structures beyond the immediate group.
The online follow-up is an important transfer element: many questions around intercultural communication, power and everyday racism only become concrete once participants try to apply new strategies in real interactions. A 2-hour online session creates a low-threshold space to revisit these situations, reflect on individual learning, receive guidance and refine practical approaches. It also enables the group to assess its own collaboration and care practices, making adjustments where needed. In this way, the workshop supports not only awareness, but sustainable behavioural and relational change.
The workshop and follow-up are co-facilitated by two trainers (Dr. Nadine Binder & Annelie Wambeek) with complementary professional expertise and different positionalities in relation to race and racism: one as a White facilitator engaged in racism-critical practice, and one as a facilitator of color with lived experience as a racialised person. This combination helps create a safer learning space for nuanced reflection, perspective-taking, dialogue and practical application.
