DEI – What does that mean?

by

You’ve probably seen or heard the terms “diversity”, “equity”, and “inclusion” before. We’ve said them a number of times in this blog already. …but what do they actually mean?

What does it mean to “be diverse” or “foster diversity?” Can you have a “diverse person?”

What does it mean to “be inclusive?”

What does it mean to have “equity?” Is equity something you can “have?”

This article from the General Assembly Blog will hopefully help

  • demystify the terms
  • teach you ways to examine your own understandings of the terms
  • give you techniques and tools to recognize diversity, inclusion, equity, or the lack thereof in your own organizations, workplaces, or SCA groups
  • demonstrate the interconnections between the three terms
