In recent years, many have come to know the language of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as a moral and organizational imperative-an aspiration to build cultures where all can belong, contribute, and thrive. Yet, in the shadow of these noble intentions, another framework insists we go further. Denied. Excluded. Invisible. This alternate triad does not seek comfort in aspirations but asks us to confront the enduring and often hidden realities of systemic oppression. While DEI aims to open doors, Denied, Excluded, Invisible asks us to look at who built the doors, who decides when they're opened, and who remains unseen even when they walk through them.
This experiential Group Relations Conference will take place virtually on Sept 19-21 between the hours of 9-5:30 CST and will explore these concepts through the lens of group psychodynamics.
