Practicing Inclusion & Equity

As part of this focus area, my goal is to provide exposure to different inclusion and equity topics experienced by different cultures globally. For example, in India, there are inequities based on caste whereas in the US, there are inequities based on race. At the same time, there have been cultures that have been quite forward thinking even historically. In ancient Native American culture, women were treated as equal to men, and there was no discrimination on the bases of gender, instead of that women were honored by society, the entire system actually based off a matriarchal society. This forward thinking is now being embraced by different cultures globally as we race headfirst through the twenty first century.
