Navigating change and planning for the future as educational developers is complicated given the current realities facing colleges and universities. For example, changing demographics, twin pandemics (health and racial), a divided political landscape, social and cultural health disparities, inequities in access to social resources, challenges to racial reckoning and theoretical frameworks, and resistance to change and resurgence in white supremacist attitudes and behaviors. As educational developers, many of us have encountered these issues (and more) at the individual and institutional levels. This virtual session offers an opportunity to interact with two POD past presidents as we explore personal and professional perspectives, concrete strategies, and applicable frameworks as we work to become better agents of change for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
