Reframing Webinar at Lehigh University

Yesterday, I led an exciting webinar for students in the RARE ( Rapidly Accelerated Research Experience) program at Lehigh University. This was the first of three webinars based on my book: Until You Walk in My Shoes: A Reframing Methodology to Overcome Systemic Discrimination. The webinars are hosted by Profs. Vassie Ware and Neal Simon, the co-directors of the RARE program. Dr. Odi, the Deputy Vice President of Equity and Community was also in attendance.

I was quite impressed by the rapidity with which the students utilized the Equity-inclusion Culture Matrix to find a ‘Better Problem to Solve’ and to Reframe the Problem.

The discussion also identified some common problems students from marginalized communities face and potential Reframes.

Dr Odi also surprised me by sharing with the students a contribution that I had made to an urgent problem the university was facing. My suggestion was a Reframe which led to a recommendation that has been successfully implemented and adopted by many departments of the University.

Dr. Odi, thank you for that testimonial!
