Would you ever pick just one of your characteristics to identify with and focus on? Would you pick your sex or your sexual orientation? Maybe you’d pick your disability or your race or ethnicity. . .
You’d probably struggle to separate out just one part of who you are - so why have we been looking at Equity, Diversity and Inclusion this way?
Intersectionality is a term used to describe how different parts of our identity (such as our race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability) all interact to create unique experiences - could a lack of focus on intersectionality be the reason why many organisations, despite their efforts, just not hitting the mark in their Equality, Diversity & Inclusion initiatives?
Join Grace for this session where she’ll delve into the concept of intersectionality and why it’s absolutely key to developing effective and genuine Diversity & Inclusion initiatives (yet is often the missing ingredient!).
Our intersectionality ‘blind spots’ will be unravelled during this session, encouraging a fresh way of thinking about Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
You’ll leave this session feeling empowered to go forward and be inclusive in a way that considers all of people, including those impacted by the intersect of numerous protected characteristics. You’ll hear real-life examples and insights - and leave understanding the necessity and value of embracing intersectionality in your quest for real and impactful Inclusive change.
