The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) recently completed its five-week workshop titled Structural Inequities: A Review. Participants in the workshop represented students, faculty, and administrators. We examined systemic inequities in: criminal justice, housing, education, health care, and economic disparities. The following are some of the quotes from the participants.
- “The relevance, organization and credibility of information presented were unsurpassed, and this workshop helped me understand things I thought I’d never understand. I think you should develop this into a standardized training program that could be adopted nationwide.”
- “Most of all, I appreciated the thoughtfulness that was put into each week’s topic, as well as the overall structure and content. Each week we were provided CURRENT inforamtion that was engaging and from a variety of sources and modalities (e.g. film, readings, YouTube, etc.).”
- “All aspects are great. This should be a class on campus.”
- “Hearing personal experiences always brings a topic into keen focus, so that’s important. As is learning about resources and tools that I can utilize going forward.”
In the fall, ODEI will be offering another five-week workshop through Community Education. The course will be titled “Raising your Diversity, Equity and Inclusion IQ: An Introductory Workshop Series.” The workshop is intended to heighten participants’ awareness of diversity, equity and inclusion by exploring historical and contemporary examples of inequity that will shed light on the experiences of marginalized people.
We hope that you will join us in spreading the word about this course.
