EnginTalks: Finding Your Place
In collaboration with the DEI Lecture Series
There are misperceptions within the Engineering field that “safe spaces” are an indulgence rather than filling a necessary role – by compensating for engineering cultures that are often alienating for women and our traditionally underrepresented and underserved populations.
Myth 3 of the series "Six Diversity Myths” highlights the need to unpack how safe spaces are more than havens from ignorant assumptions and pressure to assimilate with oppressive dominant social norms—they are places where students and faculty help one another to succeed and create cultures in which they feel at home.
This EnginTalks, which is a part of the DEI Lecture Series, will showcase narratives from students regarding how these affinity group organizations create safe spaces for themselves and their communities.
By attending this event, you will learn how to identify, utilize, and promote resources that provide safe spaces for students in need. The students on the panel represent several groups and will speak to the work they do to promote inclusivity and safety for community members in and out of the classroom.
