From Policy to Practice: Lessons on How to Implement Equity
Friday, February 26, 202112:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Pacific)
Zoom Meeting
Join the REDI Task Force for the next event in the "Critical Conversations: Race in Global Affairs" series for a conversation with Howard University Higher Education Leadership and Policy Studies professor, Dr. Sosanya Jones.
As we enter into a new decade and presidential administration with unprecedented attention to racial equity, we must ask ourselves how to move from anti-racist, equity policy goals to practices that help us achieve those goals. This conversation with Dr. Jones will outline the challenges and lessons of diversity and inclusion work, based on empirical research and professional practice, to illuminate a path toward institutional change.
There will be time for a Q&A following the dialogue. This event will be recorded and uploaded to the REDI website.
