Workshop Objectives

  *   Deconstruct the definitions of diversity, inclusivity, equity, equality, and fairness in a way that allows for a better understanding of bias and the continuum of equity.
  *   Discuss what it takes to build systems of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  *   Use the Continuum of Equity model, we will discuss the variety of ways our work and interactions show up in each “lane.”

  *   Discuss and explore the impact of language on systems of equity.
  *   Learn a variety of tips & tools for how to manage/navigate/evaluate in a diversity, equity, and inclusion framework.
