The Uncomfortableness of Equity
Presenter(s): Todd Marshall
The main obstacle to consistent, open conversation about equity is that discussions
surrounding equity arouse an array of thoughts and feelings that create an atmosphere
that is unpleasant, uneasy, and awkward. We simply have to overcome the apprehension
and anxiety that often accompany discussions of equity. This bonus session [presentation,
discussions, and story-sharing] will highlight the internal and external practices
involved in developing the essential growth mindset, communication skills, and persistent
courage necessary to start having and maintaining uncomfortable but healthy conversations
about equity. NOTE: THIS SESSION WILL BE RECORDED.
