Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Series: This is Head and Heart Work

Diversity, equity, and inclusion work has to connect with our hearts and our heads. It has an intellectual component and an emotional aspect. This panel discussion will highlight concrete examples of the head and heart aspects of ranging from the power of storytelling to an improved understanding of language and terms. One of the challenges in talking about race is having a vocabulary to talk about race and racism. In this session, we’ll review essential terms such as diversity, equity, inclusion, and intersectionality that can help to ground conversations about racial equity and we’ll also create space for participants to build their comfort level with these terms.
