Chief Inclusion Office Weekly DEIB Resources ADA, Race, Gender
The Chief Inclusion Office offers 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 are 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 resources on the Americans with Disability Act, a new series from Clarkson’s STEM LEAF Advance Team, and a webinar series from the Adirondack Diversity Initiative, and a new webinar from the Difficult Dialogs Resource Center. Many of the webinars have dates for the live event this week or next week.
