Diversity may be the hardest thing for a society to live with and perhaps the most dangerous thing for a society to be without
that’s a quote from William Sloane Coffin, I used it in the introduction of my PhD thesis
It’s also in the introduction of another book that we’re reviewing in this weeks’ show
Get your pen and paper ready because we’re reviewing Diversify: How To Challenge Inequality and Why We Should by June Sarpong
In todays show we discuss several things including:
- Why we need to be aware of the Other in the room
- Why Diversity is more than one thing
- How you can challenge yourself mentally and physically to Diversify and much more
Here’s some of what I share in the show
Expand your Circle of Human Concern
“The way it’s presented in the book is that if we think of society, there are people who have empathy, value and reverence in society, they can be described as being at the centre of the Circle of Human Concern”
The Six Degrees of Integration to change your Social Circle
“These are six steps that the author believes can change our behaviour patterns and lead us to having more diverse and inclusive social circles. These were peppered throughout the book”
How Rejection Therapy can help you get what you want
“the author was talking about how in the workplace there was evidence to suggest that women deal with rejection worse than men because they don’t judge themselves as harshly. A way to address this is to engage in rejection therapy”
