I just completed the AEJMC Conference survey that
was sent out this morning and I want you encourage you to do likewise. There is a question about suggestions for a workshop (preconference) and I think this provides us with an opportunity to have another Brown program or something related to diversity. I have suggested diversity in the curriculum -- something that everyone seems to struggle with is how to infuse diversity throughout the curriculum. I also included in my description inclusion in the classroom for students, faculty and administrators in jmc and in ACEJMC accredited programs. I also suggested within this same realm--implicit bias training--that's (facilitate implicit bias training) something that I do and given some of the remarks and concerns that I have heard, it may be a great opportunity
to explore this--certainly the timing is such that it may be useful.
Anyway, these are ideas. You probably have your own--but just wanted to make sure that you had the opportunity to put your ideas forth in this survey.
With Kindness,
