Across the U.S., state and federal legislation and regulation is reshaping diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in higher ed hiring, on campuses, and even in classrooms. As institutions navigate these shifts, how can we continue to foster diverse viewpoints and inclusive environments without instituting political litmus tests?

Join Heterodox Academy for a discussion on the future of DEI. Moderated by HxA’s Managing Editor and Senior Scholar Alice Dreger, and featuring Peter Newton of University of Colorado Boulder, Paolo Gaudiano of Aleria PBC, and Rachel Altman of Simon Fraser University, this panel will explore academic research on DEI, how DEI is evolving in both the US and Canada, and practical alternatives to traditional “DEI” that align with the core values of higher education.
