Wanted to share this with the list - Maha Bali challenges some of our assumptions and biases when practicing and using terms like “inclusion” and “diversity”. Among other things I really like what she says about different approaches to critical thinking and particularly what she says about starting with empathy and deep listening.

Pushing The Edge with Greg Curran<http://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/pushingtheedge>

In Episode 42, becoming conscious about oppression; why we need to re-think traditional critical thinking and debating approaches in the classroom; re-thinking how we view anger about injustices perpetrated on our communities; and how to get beyond generic approaches to diversity and inclusion http://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/6673702.

And here is a related blog post from Maha Bali from 2016:
