Abstract: After presenting a few theoretical concepts, the workshop will be dedicated to working in sub-groups. Participants will look at different situations typical of higher education and will be asked to reflect together on the inequities that can be generated by these situations. They will be asked to work together to find solutions that could help reduce inequities.
