Saturday, June 7, 2-4pm, Upper Arlington Public Library [Friends Theater], 2800 Tremont Rd.

DEI stands for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” In our nation today, there are significant changes taking place within identified DEI programs on all different levels: companies, organizations, universities, schools, government, and more. Whether DEI programs are worthwhile or not is a topic worth learning more about and discussing by using “The Braver Angels Way.”

Some believe that these programs are essential to achieving fairness in our society. Some believe these programs have created more division and even furthered discrimination.

Join us for a discussion on this timely topic. There will be three panelists who will help us understand differing perspectives. A non-partisan panelist will provide a helpful overview of the purpose of and what is involved in DEI. Two other panelists will discuss the pros and cons of DEI programs from their knowledgeable and differing perspectives:

• Cindy Burack, Political Theorist and Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at The Ohio University

• Wendy Ake, Public Finance Justice, Program Director at Othering and Belonging Institute

There will be the opportunity for questions and further discussion by participants. The process will be facilitated by a trained Braver Angels moderator to ensure the use of Braver Angels skills.

Join us for a Braver Angels discussion by registering here.
