Presented by Fadia Nordveit, PhD
Associate Professor of Communications

We invite you to learn about Fadia Nordveit’s experience of working with scholars from around the world to bring to fruition a peer-reviewed journal special issue called Discourses, Methods and Practices of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging: Towards a Global Shared Framework from an Italian Publishing House, LED Edizioni Universitarie. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging (DEIB) is a cluster of words that are often not well understood by non-specialists. This special issue publication covers unusual and interesting applications of DEIB across many industries, cultures, and nations. This talk will highlight the global work of DEIB, the goal of which is to create cohesive systems based on difference—to create a new, more inclusive normal. DEIB initiatives aim to create conditions where we make space for what is unique, innovative, and efficient about building structures and systems that are informed by truly integrating rather than assimilating peoples, cultures, and nations.

This event – part of the Colloquium Series of the Departments of Literature, Writing, and Journalism and Humanities and Social Sciences – is free and open to the Springfield College community.
