Presented by DS Aide
An Open, Honest, Compassionate, Constructive Discussion
Can the DS community be one in which folks who have questions, concerns, and maybe even disagreements about inclusive pedagogy express themselves civilly and safely?
Might it be possible to find/create common ground among people who seem to and might actually disagree about aspects of inclusivity work?
The answer to both questions is YES. Absolutely!
Our DEI Consultant, Dr. Carlos Hoyt, DS ‘78, will facilitate this work workshop. He’ll make sure we keep it real, keep it safe, and keep it real safe for folks to interact with the following goals in mind:
Share empathetic, compassionate, and constructive questions, concerns, etc. about inclusivity work.
Explore forms of support that might help to decrease doubts and increase readiness to understand and support DEI work.
Discuss what might be useful following the gathering to sustain a culture of candor and constructive interaction and increase everyone’s capacity to make DS an optimally open community.
If we are to be truly inclusive, we must provide a safe space for folks who experience DEI doubts to express their feelings and find ways to increase their readiness to understand and support this work.
