HRD: How To Respond To DEIB Challenges

In this ninth episode of Season 5, guests Dr. Nicole Dillard (University of Minnesota), Dr. Ciarán McFadden (University of Stirling), and Dr. Jeremy W. Bohonos (Texas State University) discuss how HRD can respond to the challenges facing DEIB, including: What do we mean by the term DEIB and what other terms might people be using that are similar? How has DEIB been in the news in recent years, and how do you view these recent events in the context of the longer-term view/history? What challenges are HRD professionals facing on DEIB as a result of these recent events? How can HRD professionals respond to these challenges and continue to make progress on DEIB? As HRD professionals navigate the current context for DEIB, what options and choices are open to them, and what decisions do they need to make? What can we learn from the current context that can help HRD to move forward on DEIB? and much more.
