Diversity with Dr. Don Halquist; Assistant Professor of Education and Human Development
While race is often perceived as the most salient aspect of diversity, it is not the only signifier. During this interactive session, we will explore how recognition of other aspects of diversity including religion, socioeconomic class, (dis)ability, first language, gender, and sexual orientation can combine to create inclusive communities in which no member is disenfranchised. Together, we will consider what this broader definition means for our work as citizens and leaders in the twenty-first century.
