Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: Language, Meaning and Culture - Life Science Access Academy

Masterclass Details:

ED&I (equality, diversity and inclusion) has become a powerful cultural phenomenon, the debating of which can be confusing and contentious.

But what are we really trying to achieve when we engage with the subject, and how can we get our point across without controversy?

In this thought-provoking 60-minute masterclass for LSAA members, John Chater, ED&I trainer and writer, and Simon Fanshawe OBE, co-founder of Diversity by Design, talk about how language, shared meaning and an ever-changing culture can impact our understanding of and discussion of ED&I.

Key Learning Objectives:

The Equality Act – characteristics, language and terminology – who’s in and who’s out?
How do we know what’s acceptable to say and what should happen if we get it ‘wrong’?
Social media – how to run across a minefield
Learning from culture – evolutions in thinking, behaviour and communication
No blame, no shame – can we carry everyone together?
