Urban Equity Consulting Services

Q What do you see as chiefly wrong with diversity? A... When we talk about diversity, it often becomes this performance of being the good type of white person. We hyperfocus on the person’s intentions. We stay in that first step of proving we’re committed to diversity and never really follow through with the commitment. We don’t ever really get to the conversation, Okay, are our measures to promote diversity effective or not? https://www.futurity.org/diversity-equity-anti-racism-2487/

As I am halfway through my MPA program, but 4 years apart, I wonder how applying my lived experiences would have been different then as opposed to now? https://www.universityaffairs.ca//i-cant-breathe-feeling-/

Let's talk about ways to reverse this trend While some will think changing public engagement process and Official Plan policies are ways to do this, it starts from the top. Strategic changes to policy and management processes will trickle down to allow consistent language and decision throughout departments. It's not just an HR thing.
