Bamboozled – The False Promise of Diversity & Inclusion Initiatives
Enormous sums of money are spent on diversity and inclusion initiatives. So why do we see such little return? Why do most initiatives operate as a defensive mandate for organizations rather than as tool for genuine transformation? And why do most efforts center on assimilation to white norms? This workshop is designed to emphasize what many people of color know through experience: the pervading model of diversity and inclusion is superficial – and fundamentally flawed. Let’s roll up our sleeves and work together to evolve it.

Science-based Practices to Bridge Differences Across Political and Social Divides
This workshop is a kick-off to a 3-month fellowship for those who are interested in bridging differences in their communities. You’ll practice and discuss how to use these science-based practices in your work and life. In addition to getting support from a peer group, there will also be mentors who are practitioners in the bridge building space supporting you along the journey. Please only take this workshop if you are committed to the three month timeline. There will be two additional calls after the workshop to check-in on progress.
