Have you been working on your DEI statement for the job search and struggling with how to explain the ways you ensure your classroom and research practices prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)? This workshop will provide space in which to actively draft or revise a statement that reflects your commitment to and work in DEI. After a review of the characteristics and elements of a DEI statement, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with others also working on their statements and receive feedback on your drafts.
