About the Social Equity Series
This multi-event series focuses on social equity and social justice. The series will feature discussions surrounding anti-racist actions, systematic changes, environmental equity, and racism in child welfare. Acknowledging that social change must include policy changes will be a central theme spanning all three events. Sustained change must be backed by policy. Sessions will feature CU Denver scholars as well as practitioners working in relevant spaces.
