Short Description:
This thought-provoking book helps us recognize systems of oppression that manifest in our society, and encourages us to work proactively, consciously, and continuously to interrupt oppression.

Long Description:
Pushing for social change is a lifelong journey that requires learning and unlearning about lived experiences that differ from our own. This thought-provoking book discusses topics like privilege (Chapter 1); intersectional oppression (Ch. 2); the psychology of conscious and unconscious biases and how to act on them (Chs. 3 and 4). This book provides readers with actionable practices and guidelines to become advocates for social and institutional changes, including how to recognize and avoid common pitfalls in EDI practice (Ch. 5), and how to use inclusive language (Ch. 6). The book unfolds the meaning of effective allyship (Ch. 7), the importance of interrupting oppression (Ch. 8), and steps to operationalize our social justice actions (Ch. 9). Finally, the book positions accessibility in an EDI context and presents a broad selection of resources to aid readers in deepening their knowledge and understanding of EDI (Ch. 10).

Celebrating Diversity in Theatre
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Diversity in theatre has come a long way, and it has a long way to go. This industry has been dominated for far too long by one sector of the population and other stories have not been told. This project encourages the students to tell their stories from their varied and unique backgrounds and share that with their classmates and community. Playwriting is a unique way to tell a story, and this is an avenue that many may not have considered. This project will broaden the scope of the students view on theatre and encourage them to step up and make their voice heard.

Cultural Differences and Conflicts - Storyboards and Fotonovelas

Rating
0.0 stars

Middle school is a conflict-ridden stage, particularly for our emerging bilingual students, who are normally known as ELLs. Not only do they have to overcome numerous problems of linguistic and cultural adaptation, but they also have to face challenges such as family or economic instability and moves, often cross-border. Indeed, it is not uncommon to meet Hispanic students: Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Salvadorans, etc. who travel to their countries of origin, or to the countries of origin of their parents for seasons, sometimes even to stay and live there, despite having been born in the United States and having lived here all their schooling until that moment. It is also quite common to see students who migrate with their families to the United States when they are already 11 or 12 years old and who, as we mentioned, not only have to learn the language, but adapt to a new life, culture and traditions.In this lesson plan we propose to use these personal experiences to introduce basic conversational vocabulary. It is designed for both dual immersion programs and English development classes.

Democracy in difference: Debating key terms of gender, sexuality, race and identity
Only Sharing Permitted
CC BY-NC-ND
Rating
0.0 stars

Democracy in difference: Debating key terms of gender, sexuality, race and identity focuses on concepts and analytical frames we use when discussing how marginalised identities navigate their place in an assumed common culture.

This ebook offers a path for exploring how we might build a shared vocabulary when working through the muddle of public debates like identity politics, political correctness, pronouns and what constitutes racism. Democracy in Difference is an unconventional interdisciplinary guide to key concepts, which borrows from decolonial methodologies, Marxism, feminism, queer theory and deconstruction.

Key terms are illustrated through written text, La Trobe Art Institute artworks (centering Indigenous artists), poetry, comedy and song, and customised animations which make difficult terms accessible.

This text is published by the La Trobe eBureau.

Discrimination and Collaboration in Science
Only Sharing Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

We use game theoretic models to take an in-depth look at the dynamics of discrimination and academic collaboration. We find that in collaboration networks, small minority groups may be more likely to end up being discriminated against while collaborating. We also find that discrimination can lead members of different social groups to mostly collaborate with in-group members, decreasing the effective diversity of the social network. Drawing on previous work, we discuss how decreases in the diversity of scientific collaborations might negatively impact the progress of epistemic communities.
