New Directions for DEI in the Workplace

The DEI Research Community Forum aims to build a supportive community of workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) researchers and practitioners that will collaboratively produce new insights and evidence-based recommendations. The forum is designed to grant more intentional connection opportunities than traditional research exchanges through a set of meaningful activities. At the end of this session, participants should have a new community of people with similar interests or goals and inspiration for future endeavors in workplace DEI.

In the forum, participants will have a chance to discuss pre-approved submissions at different levels of completion (research in progress, published research, practitioner case studies, novel ideas, etc.), explore the future of DEI in the context of current events, and intentionally network to build future collaborative relationships. To create a diverse community that can work through the science–practitioner gap, we encourage people from both science and practice from all topic areas and career stages who are interested in DEI work to attend the session.
