Equity Unbound is organizing a month-long community series on Intentionally Equitable Hospitality (IEH) in teaching and facilitation. In a series of asynchronous activities and four core live sessions, participants will have opportunities to join a nourishing community and learn together about what IEH entails from diverse facilitators, and reflect together on ways to practice IEH by experiencing a variety of facilitation strategies and reimagining them in ways that would make them more welcoming to diverse and marginalized learners/participants.

Intentionally Equitable Hospitality (IEH) reminds us that any workshop facilitator or teacher is a “host” of a space, and as such, is responsible for making that space hospitable or welcoming for others. IEH is a critical praxis that centers equity considerations in whom we involve in the design of a space, including intentionally asking ourselves questions in four phases: pre-design, design, facilitation, and community interactions outside of the moments of meetings/facilitation that can help sustain equity and community.

The sessions will be led by Equity Unbound community leaders and members: Maha Bali, Mia Zamora, Irene Maweu, Yasser Tamer Atef, Theresa Destrebecq, and Nadine Aboulmagd.

Maha joined Bryan Alexander, Tom Haymes and me to talk about “Intentionally Equitable Hospitality.” We discussed our experiences teaching and learning with digital technologies and explored the many literacies needed today, including visual thinking, creating and using images, and the use of “AI” models despite their limitations, especially for language translation.
