The POD STEM SIG hosted a series of conversations on the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in educational development and the ways that developers' existing assumptions and skills can perpetuate rather than alleviate oppressive learning environments. The facilitators’ engagement in loving self-critique and reflection were key to the events' success. In this session, participants will engage in small-group discussions about loving self-critique and how it can empower and inform our ability to engage in DEI-centered development, including intervening on the implications of imprecise language about race and privilege featured in a faculty consultation case study.
