Recognizing Discrimination/DEI Foundations for Librarians

Join James McKim, the presenter for this workshop. We hear and use terms like “diversity”, “equity”, and “inclusion” quite frequently. But most people never stop to understand what those terms really mean.

Discover the key concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that are the foundation for improving individual and organizational performance. Discover why individuals unintentionally discriminate (“isms”), how discrimination manifests in interpersonal relationships, and why it is beneficial to include diverse people and thoughts in your daily life.

Learning Objectives

·         Describe what diversity, equity, and inclusion mean

·         Describe the difference between race and ethnicity/culture

·         Describe why diversity is nothing without equity and inclusion

·         Begin to analyze the “welcomeness” of your workplace for diverse employees.

This workshop is sponsored by the EDI Committee and is for NHLA members only.
