This webinar will express the tenets of what Dr. Coopwood has dubbed the shadow culture” of American higher education. It will engage participants in an excerpt from his upcoming book by the same title, which offers hard-hitting, authentic cradle-to-grave advice for organizations seeking inclusive infrastructure. Attendees will be introduced to the shadow culture context, then transition to specific uses of language and social expectations that thwart even the best DEI efforts, often before they lead to informed decision-making.
