The College of Science and College of Health and Medicine IDEA community of practice seminar is a monthly meeting of staff and students working to improve Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access. It aims to bring to this group knowledge generated at ANU through research focused on IDEA and/or lived experience. The meeting starts with a 20 minute talk that aims to challenge the thinking of the group. We then break into small groups to discuss how this knowledge could change our practices.
Building relationships is the main goal of this seminar, so bring your lunch and/or coffee, your ideas, your enthusiasm, and let's have a chat!
Below is a list of past meetings. Here is a YouTube link to a talk very much inspired by our seminar.
