HR Speaker Series: Adding to Your HR Toolkit – A Deeper Dive into Equity and Inclusion, speaker, John Colon, Narendra Paul Loomba Department of Management

This event is part lecture and part experiential workshop as we explore (1) the philosophical foundation of appreciating diversity and equality, and (2) feelings, thoughts, and behaviors related to equity and inclusion. Philosophically, we will briefly consider the movement from the monocultural notion fueled by utilitarianism (Bentham & Mills) and libertarianism (Nozick) to the pluralist notion fueled by autonomy (Kant), Principles of Difference (Rawls), and Aspects of Cultural Difference (Nichols), as the bases for fair and just access to resources, and developing of liberatory consciousness. We will also watch two videos and explore our cultural identities and experiences through exercises. For more information on this event, please contact Prof. Molly Kern.

A conversation with attorney/activist Ady Barkan, presented by the Sandra Kahn Wasserman Jewish Studies Center

Join us for a special evening with attorney/activist Ady Barkan, co-founder of the Be a Hero PAC, who has long worked with the Center for Popular Democracy. In 2016, shortly after his first child was born, Ady was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, a terminal neurodegenerative illness. Since his diagnosis, he has become a fierce advocate for health care rights. In December 2017, Ady was filmed engaging with Senator Jeff Flake (Arizona) –the two were on the same airplane — about his impending vote that would lead to cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. The exchange went viral and since then Ady has become a sought-after speaker and interlocutor meeting with presidential candidates, testifying before the US House Committee on Rules, and becoming a leading advocate for healthcare coverage as a human right. Barkan was described as the “the most powerful activist in America” by Politico and named one of Times’ 100 Most Influential People in 2020.
