SUMMARY:Hardwired for Fear\, Hardwired for Connection: The Intersection of Brain Science and EDI
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this pre-conference session of SPARK 2023 is now closed. \nThis session will focus on the intersection of brain science and equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI). During this workshop we will build a shared understanding of foundational brain science and EDI concepts\, and consider key frameworks\, research\, and application tools that help bridge the gap between these two topics. Through thought-provoking discussion and small group work\, we will deepen our awareness of how EDI and brain science are intertwined and relevant to the EDI journey at all levels—personal\, organizational\, and systemic. \nThis session will explore these key topics: \n\nHow brain architecture influences unconscious biases\nThe areas of our nervous system that are activated when we discuss\, experience\, or perpetrate racism\nHow brain-aware perspectives can lead to increased cultural humility\nHow we can advance EDI in our organizations’ cultures via brain-friendly strategies\nHow power affects empathy\nThe mindsets and practices in our sector need to be shifted so that we can accelerate healing and growth in ourselves\, our workforce\, and our communities\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe key concepts related to basic brain architecture and development\nIdentify foundational components of systemic racism and how they are embedded throughout our sector and workplace cultures\nAnalyze how brain science and EDI intersect across the continuum of the EDI journey—personal\, organizational\, and systemic\nConsider how to apply brain-science infused EDI tools\, concepts\, and practices into daily work environment\n\n	\n\n					\n\n										\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n				Presenters\n			\n		\n		\n					\n\n									\n					\n						\n															\n													\n							\n								Undraye Howard\n								\n																	Vice President of Equity\, Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Engagement\nSocial Current \n								\n								\n							\n						\n					\n\n									\n					\n						\n															\n													\n							\n								Romero Davis\n								\n																	Senior Program Manager\nSocial Current \n								\n								\n							\n						\n					\n\n									\n					\n						\n															\n													\n							\n								Karen Johnson\n								\n																	Senior Director of Change in Mind\nSocial Current
