Dr. Bensimon, Professor Emerita of higher education at the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education and founding director of the Center for Urban Education, will speak on Wednesday, April 28, 9:30-11:00 am.
We invite you to join your UC San Diego faculty, staff, and student colleagues to hear Dr. Bensimon, who developed the Equity Scorecard, an inquiry tool and process to drive institutional change that ameliorates opportunity gaps for students, share her insight on how we can integrate racial equity into our daily processes, decision-making, policy development, and organizational structures.
Dr. Bensimon will help us understand the substantive meaning of racial equity and its application to our everyday practices as faculty, staff, and leaders. Her lecture, entitled, “From Equity Talk to Equity Walk: Expanding Practitioner Knowledge for Racial Justice in Higher Education,” will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, Dr. Becky R. Petitt.
