Our last guest speaker for our 2021-2022 Brownbag series was Dr. Sonia Kang from the University of Toronto, who gave us an amazing talk about cultivating diversity by shifting the focus from fixing individuals to fixing the system. See below for a brief abstract!

Applying behavioral insights to cultivate diversity and inclusion

Researchers and practitioners alike are facing pressure to "move the needle" on D&I. Whereas previous efforts have focused on how to change “individuals”—whether it be by “fixing the sexists and racists” or by “fixing the women and minorities”—this talk will highlight the promise of behaviourally-informed interventions that are aimed at “fixing the system”.
