How do we ensure the arts are equitable, diverse and inclusive? This is a big question and one that has sharper focus due to the Arts Council England’s investment principles. Our budgets are tight and our capacity is tighter. We know we need to address the issues, but where do we begin? You can start by joining this virtual programme which will provide you with input from our inclusion experts and will allow you to engage in conversation and reflect on your organisation’s challenges and performance. In the spirit of inclusion, sessions will be recorded and shared with cohort members following the sessions so you don’t miss out if you can’t attend or need to go back and rewatch it. You will also benefit from the slides. We will use all of the days in the week so as not to disadvantage people who work part-time. Find out more about the course here: https://buff.ly/4cv5uuQ

I think about how this video also applies to those who think of becoming faculty and working in education in general. The article/podcast/report by Howe and Thompson in nature (found here: https://lnkd.in/ePBcsB6N. ) shows that we do not get faculty from most institutions from many institutions from which they could originate. I, myself, did not graduate from any of the institutions that commonly produce faculty, but if we do not bring in faculty from other institutions and places, what does that do to the voices lost and the experiences not present in academia? Just a thought as I listened to this piece.

Please join me for my Diversity Suite titled Intersectionality. In this presentation, I will cover the following: "The construct of intersectionality notes the premise that human experience is jointly shaped by multiple dimensions such as race, gender, education, or working style. Intersectionality is a theoretical framework wherein consideration of heterogeneity across different intersections of identity dimensions is integral to understanding health and social and workplace experiences. Individuals cannot be adequately understood through a one-dimensional lens. To understand the worldview and diverse experiences of others, it is imperative to examine how intersectionality shapes and molds individual identity. Participants will: ● Understand the impact of various diversity dimensions and how they shape an individual’s worldview. ● Explore the role of privilege and oppression through an intersectional framework. ● Learn the ADDRESSING Model for conceptualizing human experience including the workplace experience. ● Complete an assessment to better understand intersectionality in the workplace." https://lnkd.in/gxZTw3Mw
SPECIAL PRICING @ $250 Join us next week at our upcoming National Diversity Council Learning Hub session on Intersectionality, which will be held on Wednesday, August 28th, from 1 to 5 p.m. ET. Stacy Speedlin Gonzalez, Ph.D., NCC, LPC-S, LCDC will lead the session using dynamic concepts to better understand the impact of various diversity dimensions and how they shape an individual’s worldview.

Amid legal victories challenging diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and as DEI initiatives face backlash in American educational institutions and organizations, museums can find paths to navigate and champion inclusive practices. This may involve addressing tactics that have been used to deepen divides. Fostering empathy and understanding is essential for museums to be a part of shaping a more equitable future. 🔎 Read the article for insights from our Center from the Future of Museums: https://lnkd.in/eT_S7e6t

There are many communities in our society that have been marginalized and overlooked throughout history. Their stories and perspectives are often left untold, as the dominant narratives fail to provide space for their voices. However, illuminating these underrepresented communities and amplifying their compelling stories is vital for creating a more just, equitable, and inclusive society. Here are 7 movies that illuminate underrepresented communities and give a voice to their compelling stories.

As a thought leader, Afro Latina, direct descendent of US immigrants, and mother of two kind humans being shaped in today's society, I have a responsibility to welcome and engage in crucial discussions that impact diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. 🌎 🌍 🌏 What I want to take away: How I can further support meaningful change, lasting impact for the generations to come. 🔖 I love that this conference is approaching this from both a global and local perspective. Too often we limit our understanding to just what we have learned within our familiar scope versus embracing the differences in our communities. 🎆 #WebsterDEI #DEIB #blackhistorymonth2024 #immigrantrights #educationalequity #democracymatters #globaldiversity

Breaking the Cycle: The Vital Role of Diversity Education in Combating Racism and Discrimination In today's polarized society, acknowledging and confronting racism is more important than ever. Our way of way of life and demacracy are at stake. With racial tensions and divisions becoming increasingly evident, it is crucial to address these issues head-on to create a society that embraces differrnce. Confronting racism is the first step towards meaningful change, as it allows us to understand its pervasive impact on individuals and communities. Confronting racism requires a collective effort to challenge prejudices, educate ourselves and others, promote inclusivity in all aspects of life. One poignant example of addressing racism comes from the musical South Pacific. The song "You've Got to Be Taught" provides a powerful commentary on how prejudice is learned and perpetuated through generations. Its message, as relevant today as it was at its debut, underscores the importance of education in combating hate and fostering understanding. "You've Got to Be Taught" premiered in 1949. Composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, this song addresses the theme of racial prejudice, highlighting how such biases are learned behaviors instilled from a young age. The controversial nature of the song stems from its direct confrontation with racism and the societal structures that perpetuate it. In contemporary discussions about race, the song's message underscores the importance of education and upbringing in shaping attitudes. It highlights the role of societal influences in the formation of prejudices and the potential for change if these influences are addressed. The song resonates in a world where racial tensions and divisions are still prominent, reminding us that to combat prejudice, we must examine and change the ways in which these biases are passed down through generations. Let’s revisit some of the lyrics of "You've Got to Be Taught": You've got to be taught to hate and fear You've got to be taught from year to year It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear You've got to be carefully taught (I encourage you to google the entire lyrics.) As the lyrics of "You've Got to Be Taught" remind us, we have the responsibility to challenge and change the narratives that perpetuate hate and fear. By actively promoting diversity, inclusion, and equity in our educational systems and communities, we can break the cycle of prejudice and build a world where people are valued for their unique qualities. Join the movement to educate and inspire future generations to embrace diversity and reject discrimination. Get involved in local diversity initiatives, suppor t inclusive policies, and advocate for comprehensive diversity education in schools. Together, we can make a difference. https://lnkd.in/gHKeu8F5 #TeachLoveNotHate #DiversityEducation #InclusionMatters #EndRacism #EmbraceDiversity

🌱 I see a lot of references recently to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in tourism, events, leisure and hospitality. This is heartening. 👯 A lot of people have worked very hard to arrive at this point. Particularly women, Black leaders, people of colour, LBGTQI folks and others. 🛌 But let's not rest now. There is much more to do. Firstly, we need to know that "equality" is not the same as "equity". We need to know that "inclusion" does not necessarily result in "belonging" and "thriving". ⚖ What is also missing is the idea of justice (leading us to JEDI or DEIJ). How do we attend to the contexts, histories, systems, and structures that work to keep people out, down or just plain oppressed? To help address these issues in the context of events, I wrote this Open Access piece: https://lnkd.in/gRuAA_pm
