D&I Alliance: Resources
D&I Moments
D&I Moments are one- to three-minute conversations about DEI topics that happen at the beginning of meetings, classes, and other college gatherings. D&I Moments are intended to help us normalize DEI conversations; spark curiosity and conversation; and learn and grow as scientists, engineers, and allies. Everyone contributes a D&I Moment to share with their group at one time or another.
Diversity Community of Practice (DCoP) reading list
Members of the University's Diversity Community of Practice (DCoP) have curated a DEI reading list of recommended books, presentations, videos, and other resources intended to help build community and encourage conversation around shared interests.
A few ways to make use of this list include:
- Invite individual folks or create a group to read with you by adding your name to the "Read with me?" column
- Endorse a book by leaving your brief review and impressions in the "Endorsed by" column. Connect with others who have endorsed the same book and meet to discuss it.
- Add what you've been reading, watching, listening to, or appreciating to the list and find other like-minded enthusiasts.
