For organizations and institutions that wish to broach the subject of equity, keynotes and guest lectures can serve as an effective point of introduction. From university students to industry professionals, learning from an expert in equity work provides an opportunity for audiences to begin to understand the meaning of equity and grapple with its implications for their specific contexts.
For these audiences, these keynotes or lectures can highlight the value of equity work and approaches in a given industry or sector, reveal issues of inequity that may be going unnoticed and unaddressed, and spark new ways of thinking about their own areas of expertise.
