The Québec Genealogical eSociety will host the free webinar, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Genealogy, presented by Holly Haimerl, on Tuesday, May 13, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time.
“Diversity is where everyone is invited to the party. Equity means that everyone gets to contribute to the playlist. Inclusion means that everyone has the opportunity to dance.” — Dr. Robert Sellers, Vice Provost for Equity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer, University of Michigan
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in genealogical research involves seeking out the stories, histories and experiences for individuals from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, different races, ethnicities, cultures, abilities and sexual orientations. As genealogists and family history researchers we need to avoid perpetuating biases present in historical records, promote equity, consider multiple perspectives, use inclusive language and reflect the richness and complexity of human experiences.
