EMSS Racial Equity Dialogue Series: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow at Miami
Fall 2020 and Spring 2021
Thoughtful dialogue can acknowledge differences of perspectives while inviting empathy, questions that lead to conversation, and a resolve to jointly solve a problem. We aimed to provide a space for intergroup dialogue within the EMSS division, to help staff individually and collectively develop a shared understanding about racism and racial equity, and to provide resources that will foster effective allyship at Miami University.
EMSS staff were required to attend four sessions and engage with content surrounding Miami’s current and future DEI efforts to implement transformative change.
