Episode description
Why do many diversity efforts fail? Because they are DIVERSITY efforts. Like medications that deal only with symptoms, diversity efforts only address things at the surface and don't get at the roots to deal with the diseases that cause the inequities we see in engineering education and practice.
Join me for this first "Soapbox" episode in which my co-producer and I draw upon recent events and share insights that delineate justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion along with strategies for shifting gears to focus on efforts that will lead to sustainable change.
