Diversity Summit

20th Annual Diversity Summit: "We Rise to the Challenge Beyond Diversity"

January-March 2021 | All Virtual

Welcome to the sixth week of the Diversity Summit. This week, we consider how to harness and activate our learning from the first five weeks of the summit. Paulo Freire describes "praxis" as "reflection and action upon the world in order to change it." As such, our speakers during the next two weeks of the summit will help us transform our learning into everyday practices of equity. (Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed,1972, 52)

Here is a snapshot of this week’s sessions:

Wednesday February 24th (12:30pm-2:00pm) – Inclusive Supervision. You can register here.

Thursday February 25th (10:30am-12:00pm) – Radicalizing Psychotherapy: From Multiculturalism to Abolition. You can register here. 

Friday February 26th (12:00pm-1:30pm) – DU Herstory: Seeking Grace. Check Schedule for Registration Information.

 

If you are not available to join us, you can view the session recordings on our Canvas course.
