This course is designed to provide a strong foundation in the language, concepts and principles of equity work for environmental educators and environmental professionals.  It is meant to be an introductory course and spark interest in further learning around justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI). The main topics for the course include:

• Foundations of communication for sensitive topics, including group agreements and nonviolent communication.

• Developing a common language for discussing JEDI topics

• Understanding historical intersections of the environmental movement with social justice topics, how those historical events might still be causing impacts today.

• Understanding bias, stereotypes, and oppression

• Reflecting on power and privilege that different identities afford, how that power and privilege manifests as microaggressions and how to use the power and privilege you had to develop a personal action plan.
