Going Deep with IDEAS: How We Can All Do the Work at USITT and Beyond
TECHnically Speaking is back from its hiatus with an invaluable conversation with present and future leadership of the IDEAS (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access and Social Justice) Committe. Current chair Cary Gillett and incoming chair Lawrence "Larry" Bennett take us through the history and continuing growth of the IDEAS committee, how former members are still "doing the work" in other parts of the Institute, resources to adopt IDEAS practices into your own life and career, and much more.
