FREE Online Luncheon
Opening an Uncomfortable Conversation on Social Justice in our Work
Most professionals are correctly being encouraged to attend to diversity issues in their practice. Darren’s talk will offer a timely reminder that this work of attending to difference is not simply about “managing diversity” or pursing harmony with our colleagues and clients. Our current charged social and political climate reminds us that bringing about change toward equity and social justice requires thoughtful advocacy and even some professional risk. Darren’s talk will offer specific insights from his three decades of work on social justice activism and human rights; he will address notions of privilege, and the need to attend to our own complex identities in this work. This presentation will encourage and prepare attendees to engage in meaningful efforts to foster social justice through becoming better advocates for all.
