How can we identify, address, and improve institutional climate and culture around equity? How do we discuss and visualize equity gaps? What language motivates higher education professionals to commit to narrowing social and structural inequities? WSCUC Fellows Dr. Elavie Ndura and Dr. Brianna Moore-Trieu will bring their extensive research and practice experience to these issues and explore new and emerging ways to advance equity within higher education institutions through strength and asset-based approaches and analysis. Theories of motivation and the lived experiences of data experts and those engaged in equity will form the basis of strategies to move from equity talk to equity walk. Examples of institutional strategies that are advancing equity and contributions from peers in the audience about their own lessons and successes will provide focus for the content of this engaging workshop.
