Cultural humility in peer education is best described as:
Answer: An ongoing process of self-reflection and learning about others' cultures
Cultural humility is a lifelong commitment to self-reflection, learning, and openness about cultural differences rather than claiming mastery of any culture.
A microaggression in a peer education setting is best defined as:
Answer: A subtle, often unintentional comment or action that conveys a negative message to a marginalized group
Microaggressions are brief, commonplace indignities — often unintentional — that communicate derogatory or negative messages to members of marginalized groups.
Which of the following best describes the concept of intersectionality in DEI education?
Answer: The way multiple social identities interact and create unique experiences of privilege or oppression
Intersectionality, coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, describes how overlapping identities (race, gender, class, etc.) create layered, unique experiences of discrimination or privilege.
When facilitating a DEI discussion, a peer educator encounters a participant who makes an insensitive comment. The best response is to:
Answer: Pause the discussion and use it as a teachable moment using restorative dialogue
Restorative dialogue turns harmful moments into learning opportunities without shaming the speaker, maintaining a safe environment for all participants.
In inclusive peer education, using someone's correct pronouns is important because:
Answer: It affirms the person's identity and fosters a respectful, safe environment
Using correct pronouns is a basic act of respect that affirms a person's gender identity and contributes to a psychologically safe educational environment.
Equity in peer education differs from equality in that equity:
Answer: Provides resources and support based on individual needs to achieve fair outcomes
Equity means tailoring support to each person's needs and circumstances, while equality means giving everyone the same resources regardless of their starting point.
