Immigration law can be stressful for practitioners and clients alike. Panelists will focus on how we can be more mindful of our own implicit biases and how they can damage our client relationships. They will discuss approaches to “nontraditional” families, including challenging our own and USCIS’s preconceptions about relationships. They also will examine how our socioeconomic biases lead to frustrations over client “noncompliance” with evidence gathering, and they will identify best practices in dealing with pronouns and gender labels.
- Gender equity and inclusivity in your practice and community
- Gender as a social construct
- Gender inclusive language
- Best practices and strategies for equity and inclusion regarding gender
- Racial bias
- Cultural bias
- USCIS’s acceptance of “nontraditional” families, including polyamorous relationships
