Meeting link will be sent to registered attendees a day or two before the session.

Workshop Description

Are there things you “know you should know”, but aren’t quite there yet? Using personal experience, textual analysis, structured reflection and dialogue, and an appreciative inquiry approach this interactive workshop will delve into the personal and social meanings of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and their applications within The Mountaineers. Attendees will learn strategies for facilitating conversations about DEI, common DEI terms and concepts, and strategies and resources for self-study. Several short readings and a film clip will be assigned in advance, and participants will be sent a brief pre-workshop survey to help inform the content of the session.
