With a focus on “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace,” the Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center’s monthly lunch-and-learn series features interesting speakers discussing topics related to communication, dispute prevention and resolution, and transforming conflict.
This month’s speaker is Kimberly Dark on the topic “When Ideology Blocks Action: Name It, Discuss It, and Act.”
“One important barrier to equity is the gap between ideology and implementation,” said Kimberly. “This often comes up as a battle between ‘traditional values’ or ‘the way it’s always been done’ and equity and inclusion practices which seek change, or create discomfort for some.”
