Episode 117: Connected Arts Networks (CAN) – Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Part 2
Laura and Matt GrundlerDr. Mi’Jan Celie Tho-Biaz, Gayle Nicholls-Ali, and Lindsey Baur
The work of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) is challenging. It requires deep care, concern, and attention, without which it’s possible the important work being done won’t flourish. Considering these notions is essential to creating programs that support students at their individual levels. In the second part of the Connected Arts Networks (CAN) ED&I episode, The Creativity Department and co-host Mi’Jan Celie Tho-Biaz continue the discussion with two new guests from CAN. Educators Gayle Nicholls-Ali and Lindsey Baur weigh into the crucial conversation around ED&I from the Visual Arts & Media and Dance perspectives. Listen in to hear how Gayle and Lindsey create diverse and inclusive environments for all learners, honor and encourage student voice and choice, illustrate different (and similar) approaches to art through experiences with artists of diverse cultures, and much more!
