When you hear the word "diversity", what comes to mind? If you're like most people, religion wasn't your first thought, or even your second one at that. We live in a world, work jobs, attend classes, and are a part of organizations that are religiously diverse, yet this identity is often forgotten or labeled as too taboo to talk about with others. In order to be effective leaders, influencers, and DEI practitioners, we have to critically examine how we are cultivating communities that both value and engage diverse religious, spiritual, and secular (RSS) worldviews. Join us for this interactive workshop as we explore how RSS worldviews shape our experiences and the spaces that we occupy.Learning Objectives:
Examine one's own RSS worldviewExplore how RSS worldviews have shaped one's own and other's experiencesBrainstorm strategies to engage diverse RSS worldviews to cultivate inclusive communitiesThis workshop is designed for U-M master's students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral scholars on all three campuses; therefore, only U-M graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are permitted to register for this workshop.
