Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Leadership Tools Showcase The agenda is as follows: 8:00 AM Registration, Breakfast, and Networking 8:30 AM Opening Remarks by Lee Gill, Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, University of Louisville Dr. Brigitte Burpo presents "A Diversity, Inclusion, & Engagement Logic Model" "The “DIE” Model was developed as a planning and assessment tool for organizational change related to inclusion and engagement work within organizations. Because organizational change related to equity, inclusion, and belonging is tied to both structural and cultural shifts, it is important to have a map for these changes. Thus, the DIE Model helps leaders navigate the planning, implementation, and evaluation phases of organizational change. We start the DIE Model with the DIE Proposition which is the commitment being made for the organizational change. This is followed by identifying key stakeholders and partners as well as resources needed to implement the plans. We organize our partners and stakeholders into segments to better organize how we engage with them, and then determine appropriate channels for implementation. We then identify the intended outcomes that can be used to determine success. Once the plans have been implemented, the DIE Model offers further guidance for assessing the strategy for optimal outcomes. In this workshop, we will use the DIE Model to practice the strategic planning process for large-scale organizational change." Dr. Emma Sterrett-Hong presents "Active Inclusivity: A Skills-Based Model" The active inclusivity development model is a framework for identifying the skills a person needs to improve to increase their ability to demonstrate inclusivity. No one has perfectly mastered the practice of inclusivity, so these skills are useful for anyone seeking to grow their ability to act inclusively. The skills also can help us overcome obstacles or challenges we face in promoting inclusivity. These obstacles are often hard to overcome because they were embedded into our society’s implicit structures before we were born, because we are unaware of how these structures are influencing our behavior, and because change often involves losses as well as gains. Addressing these obstacles requires relatively sophisticated skills. Each of us possesses different pre-existing levels of each skill, which can guide us in selecting certain skills we want to prioritize in developing further. However, in general, we can all improve in each skill, and the skills all work together to mutually reinforce each other. Also, because implicit social structures influence each situation in different ways, some skills are necessary in some situations, but may not be needed in other situations. Also, Figure 1 describes what each skill is, and when it is needed, signs it may be particularly useful to us, and examples of ways to use that skill to act more inclusively. so that we can know when to practice each skill. Dr. Cherie Dawson-Edwards presents "Practical Applications of Restorative Justice in Organizations" Restorative Justice is a strategy that has been used in criminal justice to accept people back into the community while holding them accountable for their actions. Its application outside of criminal justice is powerful because of the way it marries values such as acceptance with values such as accountability. The integration of competing values like this is important in corporations, schools, non-profits, governments, and even community organizations; and, therefore, is a powerful way to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Dr. Dawson-Edwards’ tool will help people to people understand how to apply restorative justice across settings, particularly in situations that people perceive to be unjust. Dr. Ryan Quinn presents "The Inclusive Events Tool: A Mindful Approach to Reducing Implicit Bias" One of the features of human experience that makes inclusivity and justice difficult to achieve is implicit bias. Implicit bias is an unconscious but inaccurate preference, such as a tendency to think that white people are more trustworthy than black people, that men are better suited than women for professional work, or that young people are more savvy than older people. Implicit bias influences behavior, but in ways that are subtle, and about which people are often unaware. Furthermore, people often stigmatize implicit bias providing further motivation for people to deny their implicit biases, even though it would be reasonable to assume that everyone has some implicit biases. Therefore, the purpose of The Inclusive Events Tool is to help people use mindfulness-based techniques to reduce implicit biases in collaborative events without stigmatizing others in the process. It offers mindfulness-based techniques because a growing body of research confirms that, under the right conditions, mindfulness can reduce implicit bias. However, the Inclusive Events Tool does not provide users with a one-size-fits-all process. Rather, it provides a collection of possible techniques and guidelines for helping users to think about when each technique may be appropriate. 11:45 AM Discussions/Closing Remarks |

Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there) Special Pre-Premiere Screening, Directed by Peter Byck Episodes One and Two: Wednesday, October 26, 6 pm Cinema + Episodes Three and Four: Thursday, October 27, 6 pm Cinema + ![]() “This is, hands-down, the best agriculture filmmaking I’ve ever seen. The characters are all so likable and captivating, the graphics are stunning, and I learned a ton about ecology… but none of that would matter without Peter Byck’s soul and empathy as storyteller.” Bill Weir, CNN.Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there) is a 4-part documentary series all about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves, hearts, and soil. Can a novel way to graze cattle, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land, help get farmers out of debt, restore our depleted soils, rebuild wildlife habitats, and draw down huge amounts of carbon? Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time. What if they can help save us from catastrophic climate change and get people from all political stripes to come together? “I am always looking for common ground,” says director Peter Byck, “and what I’ve realized is the common ground is the actual ground.” Roots So Deep is guided by Byck, (also a wrangler of scientists) as he builds relationships with farmers on both sides of the fence–the folks practicing a new way to graze, and their neighbors set in their family’s old style of doing things. Byck’s team of outcast scientists have all put their careers on the line to even explore this new kind of grazing–they’ve been taking arrows for decades. One question looms over the whole series: even if the science shows that the new way to graze is better for the land and the farmers’ pocketbooks, will the old school farmers change, or will they adopt the new methods? Will they evolve into climate heroes? Stick around for episode 4 for the answer. 2022, U.S., DCP. Program length with discussion: approximately 2 ½ hours. Recommended for all ages. Cinema + Each evening’s screenings are followed by a post-screening discussion with director Peter Byck. Louisville-born director Peter Byck is a Professor of Practice in the School of Sustainability and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. Byck was also the writer, director, and producer of Carbon Nation and Garbage. This is a UofL Sustainability Week event! |
