Beyond Diversity 101: Micro-inequities, Implicit Bias, and Moving toward Equity
July 13 - July 13,2021
From the Arts Council of Fort Worth: "Many of us have been involved with diversity training that focuses on cultural difference and respecting all perspectives. While this is a good start, we cannot move toward true equity in our workplaces, organizations, and personal relationships until we address historical and institutional inequality. In order to address the myriad ways that certain people are marginalized based on social identities such as race, gender, disability, religion, class, sexual orientation, etc., every one of us needs to understand our own identities, how we all demonstrate bias that is often unconscious, and how we are all capable of moving toward equity. Join us as we try to build a more welcoming and equitable arts community. Anne Phibbs, PhD (she/her/hers), Founder and President of Strategic Diversity Initiatives, brings over 25 years’ experience helping organizations advance their diversity, equity & inclusion goals. She will lead a series of workshops to help local arts nonprofits begin to recognize and address the barriers and biases that prevent equal opportunities for participation and employment in the arts. All folks who work at an arts nonprofit are encouraged to participate, but special preference will be given to Arts Council Grants Program applicants and recipients. Please limit registration to a maximum of 3 people per organization. Participation will raise an applicant organization's award cap for a DEIA Capacity Building Grant."
