Webinar: The Implications of Equity in Conflict Work
Join us in a conversation on The Courage to Be Partial: The Implications of Equity in Conflict Work by Ei Ei Samai, Principal at Samai Culture Design, on Monday, July 22, 2019, at 12:00 PM ET.
Drawing upon lived experience as an immigrant woman of color in the US and 20 years of professional experience in social justice work, Ei Ei will share her journey unlearning “fairness as identical treatment” and what it means to embody equity as a personal liberation tool and operationalize equity as a collective transformation framework.
This webinar will:
- Define courage
- Examine words such as neutrality, Omni-partiality, and equity
- Highlight the harm of identical, unseen, and unrepresented treatment
- Exchange concrete practices for personal and collective transformation
