<p>About a year ago I learned about the use of JEDI (Justice, Equity Diversity and Inclusion) as an acronym to describe a new wave of diversity professionals. In this episode Alex and Dr. Jared Clemons (@jayctigerfan) explore some of the opportunities and limitations of this framing, including a discussion on the drawbacks of using JEDI to describe a movement intended to advance racial justice in the real world. Where did it come from? Is it appropriate? And would you join this JEDI order? We also discuss the broader implications of DEI work (diversity, equity and inclusion) and what it means for representation in Star Wars and in other areas of our lives like work, education, politics, etc. </p> <h1>Read up on it: <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-the-term-jedi-is-problematic-for-describing-programs-that-promote-justice-equity-diversity-and-inclusion/">Why the Term ‘JEDI’ Is Problematic for Describing Programs That Promote Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion</a></h1> <p><strong>SUPPORT ABORTION FUNDS - People are organizing around abortion.</strong><a href="https://abortionfunds.org/"><strong> Find your local fund and make a donation</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p> <p>Follow Views from the Sith on Instagram and Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ViewFromTheSith">@Viewsfromthesith</a></p> <p>For inquiries, viewsfromthesithpod@gmail.com </p> <p><br></p>
