Diversity and Inclusion Problems, Data-Based and Intersectional Solutions

Please join for us for our last in-person event of the season! 

Organizational practitioners understand the need to authentically incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into their work. Within this space, there is a particular emphasis (but at times, confusion) about intersectionality, or the examination of the way in which multiple identities interact to influence an employee’s experiences. However, how to take all of this into consideration when doing DEI work is not always clear. In this session, Dr. Salter will discuss research he has conducted on intersectionality, and highlight how practitioners can apply these findings in organizational settings. Audience members will walk away with a deeper understanding of intersectional DEI, and how to influence change in the workplace.
