Equity, diversity, inclusion and anti-racism

There are no shortcuts to sustainable, decolonial, anti-racist change. While most workplaces have a language and process in place to embrace diversity and inclusion, an ongoing commitment at individual and organizational levels is essential to addressing the inequities in our systems.

Transform how you integrate equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and intercultural work into your personal and professional life through an array of certificate and micro-credential offerings. Here, changemakers expand their knowledge base by combining existing skills and expertise with practical EDI-centered strategies to drive lasting organizational culture change. 

  1. Anti-racism
  2. Equitable systems design
  3. Equity, diversity, and inclusion
  4. Intercultural communication

The curriculum was well thought out, from offering important historical context, to demonstrating the importance of individual reflection and action, to offering case studies and frameworks, to implementing antiracist practices into our jobs.
