Abstract

Antiracism and antidiscrimination work requires all of us to try our hardest to question and dismantle systems of inequality that have been in place for so long that we don’t notice them in the day to day. The key is to make any invisible hardships that we notice visible, especially if we are not in the group affected by them, and begin the work of rectifying those imbalances. This is at the heart of EDI—which stands for equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives and practices.
