Hey Kristen, very good question!

Hi bookaroos!

One of the requests that I've received from my staff after looking at the EDI toolkit and attending Ryan Dowd's "dealing with prejudicial remarks" webinar is for more in-depth bystander training. Basically, how to usefully intervene in the library and elsewhere if someone is being harassed, subjected to slurs, etc.

Has anyone worked with a trainer on this who's particularly good?
