Register now for the UW–Madison Diversity Forum, “Rising Above and Reshaping our World in the Image of Justice.” The 2021 Diversity Forum will be held as a hybrid in-person & virtual conference on Nov. 2 & 3 with Dr. Russell Jeung, co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate, and Steven Canals, co-creator of “Pose,” as keynote presenters. The annual conference is free and open to the public.

This workshop will introduce attendees to an ongoing project to create an anti-racist, liberatory rubric specifically for UW–Madison departmental use. The aim of the project is to help those who populate and guide our departments to organize themselves when asking the questions: How are we perpetuating racism and oppression right here in our workplace, and what can we do to change that? During this workshop, attendees will be given an opportunity to provide feedback on an outline of the current project and share ideas on additional aspects of anti-racist work that should be taken on by individual departments and units. The three guiding beliefs of this rubric are (1) shared power and mutual respect, (2) transparency and intentional communication, and (3) equitable distribution of resources.
