Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion measures have been put in place to ensure access to education, government programs, jobs, etc. for disadvantaged groups such as women, people of color, queer people, and disabled people. But these measures aren’t merely kind or fair, they also result in better outcomes for governments and stronger workforces. This talk will range over why DEI measures are necessary, what kinds of steps are needed to ensure real inclusion, and what benefits they have beyond being decent to people.

This week’s speaker will be Mikki Phoenix.

After the talk, we’ll have a group discussion to explore the ideas presented, and to share related thoughts, resources, and personal experiences.
