Annual Diversity Conference: From Bystander to Ally (2015)
-
Description
-
Participants looked both inward and outward to discover actions that drive our communities towards reflecting and celebrating the richness of diversity among individuals and groups.Workshops provided an opportunity to develop the skill sets and courage required to think carefully about one’s own identities, and challenged participants to leap from bystander to ally when discussing topics such as race, class, ability, gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality and other identity markers. This year’s conference “From Bystander to Ally” aimed to elevate the conversation around intersecting identities, social justice, and unconscious bias. As in previous conferences, we sought to promote respectful dialogue, open-mindedness, the acceptance of others, and the celebration of diversity and inclusiveness.
