Presenter: Caroline Belden, The Winters Group, Inc.
In our society, dominant groups (i.e., white, male, citizen, able-bodied, etc.) have a history of “othering” non-dominant groups. This session explores decentering this dominant narrative as a step toward correcting this inequity by addressing the problem of “othering,” the necessity of active listening, and the choice of shifting our focus toward non-dominant narratives in the pursuit of equity.
