If an FLC member has turned off their camera, we will trust that there is a compelling reason for doing so. shradhat https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847337187 2024-01-12 20:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847337187 This FLC should be viewed as a “brave” space where we will take risks, be vulnerable, acknowledge the difference between comfort and safety, and engage in complex critical thinking. Stories that are told here stay here, but the lessons leave the room. shradhat https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847337727 2024-01-12 20:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847337727 “Share the Mic”: We will be mindful of how much airtime we take when speaking and listening. We will respect sharing airtime by balancing listening and speaking in equal measure. shradhat https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847337867 2024-01-12 20:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847337867 We will listen in order to understand each other’s perspectives. We acknowledge that discomfort is part of the process. shradhat https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847338039 2024-01-12 20:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847338039 We will balance our contributions/sharing with active listening and learning from others. When speaking from our own experiences we will use “I” statements. We will be open to hear views that are oppositional or unfamiliar to our own. shradhat https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847338292 2024-01-12 20:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847338292 Everyone is encouraged to share their lived experiences/stories. Even so, we all will take responsibility to “do our homework” and not call/rely upon FLC participants who have experienced the traumas and consequences of systemic oppression to share/testify to their experiences for our educational benefit. shradhat https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847338619 2024-01-12 20:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847338619 When areas of disagreement or confusion arise, we will debate arguments and ask others to provide evidence, without attacking the person. shradhat https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847339308 2024-01-12 20:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847339308 We will name our oops, reflect on how and why they occurred, and take action to avoid repeating those mistakes. shradhat https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847339461 2024-01-12 20:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/hmbi337cw6lxo7h1/wish/2847339461
