Description

Join me in my conversation with Davey Shlasko, as we approach the topic of inclusion from a different lens. 

Inclusion has been something that I, personally, have been looking and reflecting on where I need to do work within myself, and how I can take more action as an advocate for others. As Davey shares in this podcast, it starts there. It starts with each of us taking a personal inventory and seeing where we need to step it up to make an impact. 

We discuss: 

• How Davey got started in this work 
• How the normal, default isn't good enough and how we need to do more than simply avoid having a negative impact or stay neutral. 
• How we can make the biggest impact possible, and create a ripple effect, on a daily basis 
• What the definitions are for terms we may hear and not understand fully, such as: classism, ableism, and cissexism (transgender oppression) and how these show up in the world. 

• How we can create more inclusion with our businesses

As an educator, author, and consultant, Davey’s passion is facilitating adult learning that supports organizational and systemic change for social justice. In addition to managing Think Again, Davey has authored several chapters in  Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice and Readings for Diversity and Social Justice including curricula on classism, ableism, and cissexism (transgender oppression), and also teaches as an Adjunct Associate Professor in social theory and trans studies at Smith College School for Social Work. Davey has an M.Ed. in Social Justice Education from UMass, Amherst, and has been writing and teaching about social justice issues since 2000. (Home base: Boston, MA)
