Lewin and DEI

---

Join us May 26th from 9am to Noon PST via Zoom.

Kurt Lewin did groundbreaking training-action-research (as he put it) on what he called “minority relationships.” His methods  demonstrated the power of group dynamics, local action, inclusion of all who are willing to be included, and how to change inaccurate beliefs  such as prejudice. His methods worked, and there is no good reason we can’t apply them in the present. 

That is the thesis of Gilmore Crosby’s  new book, Diversity without Dogma. Gilmore will lead this  dialogue using the framework (right) that emerged as he has applied Lewinian social science to understanding and addressing racism and other  forms of prejudice.  

At the end of the training, participants will:

• Have a practical understanding of Lewinian social science and its implications for facilitating any type of change.
• Be able to adapt and apply Crosby’s framework for DEI education and action.
• Derive implications from Lewin regarding how to lead training that intentionally explores and impacts beliefs.
• Be better equipped to manage and avoid the pitfalls of dogma. 
• Have an integrated theory to guide action.
