SK Arts Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Speakers Series
When
- January 20, 2022
- February 17, 2022
SK Arts is hosting a free, virtual speakers series on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the arts sector.
There are three sessions planned in 2022; the first is on January 20 at 10 a.m. with Manuela Valle-Castro (she/her, they/them). Valle-Castro is the Director of Social Accountability at the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine. She is originally from Chile and has Mestiza (Spanish-Italian and Afro-Indigenous) background. She holds a PhD in Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice from the University of British Columbia. The title of her talk is "Beyond diversity and inclusion: understanding equity and systemic oppression". In this workshop, we will explore the limitations of focusing on diversity and inclusion to effectively address systemic inequities, and introduce the framework of equity as a new language to understand power, privilege and oppression.
The February 17 session will feature Tarah Hogue, with the March session TBA.
