Allyship Panel Discussion
Tuesday, April 20, 2021 - 1:30pm to 1:55pm
In the definition from Wikipedia, “Allyship is the practice of emphasizing social justice, inclusion, and human rights by members of an ingroup, to advance the interests of an oppressed or marginalized outgroup. Allyship is part of the anti-oppression or anti-racist conversation, which puts into use social justice theories and ideals.â€
One of the keys to Allyship is communication and the ability to hold difficult conversations. Often, a member of the ingroup wants to be an Ally, but is not sure what would be most supportive and is afraid to ask. After a brief presentation on Allyship, this panel, made up of members of MAC, WIC, DORIC and LBTQ+ will answer questions from the moderator and the audience on how Allies can be the most supportive and effective in both the workplace and life. Please join us at this Panel co-sponsored by the Leadership Development Panel, Management Division, and the EDI Community of AIChE to gain strategies and advice on how to be an Effective Ally.
