Session Description

This event is hosted by the Division of People Strategy, Equity & Culture.

This session is part of the Inclusion in Action Speaker Series, created with the aim of dismantling attitudes and processes that uphold ongoing exclusion and marginalization, the series uses an intersectional lens to explore specific, complex and timely conversations with our campus communities.
