Ruining Dinner: Religion as the Silent Diversity
Religion is one of the topics that no polite person should bring up at a dinner party, but we're bringing it up at DIBS. How does religious identity fit into diversity and inclusion work? Why is it important to talk about? And how can our community create belonging for religious and nonreligious identities?
We'll explore these questions and more, led by JillAnn Knonenborg, Virginia Tech's Assistant Dean for Interfaith Leadership.
