DEI Learning Resources
In order to deepen our understanding and knowledge of race-related issues, including the history of racism both within our department and in a broader context, we offer a range of self-learning opportunities. These opportunities encompass formal seminars featuring guest speakers from diverse backgrounds who can address a wide array of topics pertaining to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Examples of such topics include the history of eugenics as well as the philosophy and sociology of science. Additionally, we organize workshops and provide access to external educational resources that focus on intervention techniques, bias training, and community building, among other relevant subjects. To assist you in your self-education journey, we present websites below that serve as valuable learning resources.
