To close out our Understanding America series for the fall semester, we are pleased to hold a discussion about diversity, equity & inclusion led by Deborah Stanley-McAulay, Yale’s Chief Diversity Officer and Senior Director of Yale’s Office of Diversity & Inclusion.
Deborah will begin the conversation by defining terms surrounding diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI), including a discussion about bias, privilege, what it means to be an ally, etc. We will then examine Yale’s strategy for DEI initiatives, an employer’s role in building community, and how you fit into these conversations. This will be an interactive talk and discussion, with time for reflection and Q&A.
As a reminder, our Understanding America discussion series brings together expert speakers from Yale and the New Haven community to break down key issues happening at Yale, in New Haven, and the U.S. at large and to provide some historical context. We want you to have a comfortable space to engage in a lively discussion, offer opinions, and gain insights into some complex features of U.S. society and culture.
We hope to see you there!
Note: Not suitable for children under the age of 15. The series is open to the Yale Community, and we encourage you to come with questions, opinions, and an open mind. Please RSVP in order to attend.
