Chief Inclusion Office Weekly DEIB Resources
The Chief Inclusion Office is launching a weekly resources announcement to the Clarkson Community. The resources are meant to help people explore diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging [DEIB] for themselves, in their communities, and in our institution. They may be resources that help you re-examine society and do some introspective reflection, explain core concepts like intersectionality or anti-racism, or practical guides for action, such as how to review a syllabus for equity-minded practice.
The resources will be linked in the announcement and saved to a common google folder for all to reference,
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a0DXWcmwl4a5zM5lMsBZR_7uk8_OZhIY?usp=sharing. If you would like to share thoughts on resources, please contact Diversity@Clarkson.edu.
We will also be using some of these resources as the basis of workshops and professional development throughout the year.
This week we offer two resources on re-examing the meaning of the Fourth of July from Ibram X. Kendi and Mark Charles. Kendi’s piece What to an American Is the Fourth of July? Is from 2019 and asks us to think about the relationship of power and freedom. Charles’ piece is from 2015 and explores The Dilemma of the Fourth of July from a Native perspective.
Don’t forget to spend some time this Fourth of July looking for other articles and resources.
