Participants will: 

  • Deepen understanding of DEIJ concepts that are necessary to build effective town-gown collaborations and create more equitable communities
  • Concepts are approached from a group and systems level; they include (but are not limited to): oppression, resistance, liberation, equity, intersectionality, inclusion, power, privilege, and white supremacy
  • Process their own learning and connect with others by sharing experiences and critical reflections through discussions 
  • Practice applying the content to revise, reframe, and/or reinforce their own plans and programs for creating equitable communities
