OUR NAME – OUR VALUES
CENTER FOR COMMUNICATION, DIFFERENCE, AND EQUITY
COMMUNICATION
• Channels: We connect through various accessible platforms, including our website, social media, newsletters, public events, and intergenerational community dialogues, to amplify historically silenced voices and foster inclusive engagement.
• Tone: Rooted in care and accountability, our voice is relational, empowering, and action-oriented. We speak with clarity and urgency while honoring the lived experiences of the communities we serve.
• Consistency: Every communication, from emails and social media to publications and programming, reflects our unwavering commitment to equity, solidarity, and transformative justice.
DIFFERENCE
• Our Approach: We challenge dominant narratives by centering identity as dynamic, intersectional, and relational— examined through the lenses of power, privilege, resistance, and lived experience.
• Specialized Programs: Our community-rooted initiatives—from collaborative research to immersive storytelling and dialogue—cultivate spaces for reflection, healing, and collective action toward equity and social transformation.
EQUITY
• Policies: We support efforts to advance systemic change within the University and beyond, working to ensure that institutional policies reflect principles of equity and inclusion.
• Practices: Accessibility, fairness, and justice guide how we design programs, workshops, and research—because advancing equity means reshaping the very structures we move through
