Embracing Discomfort with Diversity by DA Global | Aug 21, 2018 | Career Advancement Resources, Identity in the Workplace Embracing Discomfort with Diversity Sharing the responsibility for inclusive excellence requires all international educators to critically examine our identities, privileges, and experiences of oppression. This session guides participants to unpack their diverse identities through participatory exercises that challenge us to see how all our identities impact all aspects of our lives. From these shared experiences we will present examples of how we engage students and educators from all backgrounds (including White, cis-gender, heterosexual, able-bodied, able-minded, and others) in these conversations. Participants will leave with concrete ideas to broaden identity discussions and motivate all students and professionals to foster greater inclusive excellence in education abroad.

If international education is to be something equally accessible and attainable for all students, it is imperative to work towards more inclusive advising practices before, during and after the student’s study abroad experience. Drawing from the Access, Inclusion, and Diversity (AID) Roadmap guideline on Diversity & Inclusion and the Top Five Tips to Developing a Diversity & Inclusion Strategy, the Race and Ethnicity Task Force would like to offer the top tips/best practices for advising students of color through a series of do’s and don’ts.
