Change begins with us

Welcome to the new UCSC Silicon Valley Extension Diversity Equity Inclusion series where we invite you to consider new ways of listening, seeing, and evaluating the roles and identities we live in today's society and help you develop practical tools to navigate a more just society.

Our curriculum is created to build awareness and develop DEI leadership in the classroom and in larger organizations and institutions to promote:

  • Greater understanding
    Awareness of the many intersecting identities and roles we have in diversity, equity and inclusion work.
  • Wiser interactions
    Promoting equity, inclusion, and social justice in our workplaces, communities, and beyond.
  • Effective advocacy
    Moving beyond understanding and empathy toward allyship and action.

Three introductory DEI courses

   

 

Fostering Diversity and Inclusion in your Workplace and Social Circles

Join Shindale Seale, Ed.D., M.Ed., cultural equity strategist and UCSC Silicon Valley Extension instructor, in learning more about three things we each can do to improve the workplace and build stronger communities.

Combatting Microaggressions in the Workplace

A step-by-step approach for advocating for yourself and others who are targets of microaggression with Shindale Seale, Ed.D., M.Ed., founding chair of the UCSC Silicon Valley Extension Diversity Equity Inclusion program. And, for us perpetrators out there, we’ll learn how to mitigate our behavior to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace.

   

 

Other related DEI courses

Several of our existing courses in business and education address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion and we are excited to be developing a rich menu of DEI curriculum for people interested in diving deeper into the executive's potential, the promise of technology, the role of educators, and the mission of the advocate.
