Tune in for a discussion with Dr. Thornton-Lugo and Aleksandra Dunjic, two experts on DEI who are passionate about creating a welcoming and inclusive environment.

In this episode we will dispel common myths around diversity, equity, and inclusion, have in-depth discussion on who actually benefits from DEI efforts, and provide tips on how to navigate polarized conversations around DEI.
