Engaging with EDI Skepticism and Resistance

Wednesday, November 10, 2021 09:00to10:30

Advancing EDI goals in a large organization is a tough proposition. Those at the forefront of EDI efforts can feel challenged on all fronts. For some, EDI efforts are moving too far, too quick. For others, they fail to address meaningfully the historic and ongoing injustices within institutions of higher education. Working within this space fraught with skepticism and resistance can be a challenge.

The goal of this workshop is to examine whether it is possible to embrace skepticism about and resistance to EDI so as to enrich intellectual discussions on the topic and galvanize the energy needed to effect positive change in this realm. The workshop will examine how we can identify, understand, and engage constructively with EDI skepticism and resistance, how to harness the energy arising from critiques of EDI, and how to know when resistance might generate individual or structural harm, and how to address that.

Facilitator: Angela Campbell
