Equity And Inclusion

El artículo aborda los problemas de equidad e inclusión en la educación superior en Chile desde una perspectiva que se sitúa más próxima al campo de la sociología de la Educación. Desde allí la perspectiva teórica que sirve de marco orientador del estudio se plantea la posibilidad de comprensión de los fenómenos sociales desde las creencias y acciones de los sujetos. También se asume que el logro de la justicia en una sociedad determinada y en la educación en particular, trasciende a la distribución equitativa de recursos y requiere que los actores educativos, caracterizados por una mayor diversidad, se reconozcan mutuamente unos a otros como lo plantean los teóricos del reconocimiento (Honneth, 2010).Palabras clave: Equidad, inclusión, educación superior, creencias, reconocimiento.Diversidade Cultural e Equidade em Faculdades privadas com Projeto de InclusãoO artigo aborda os problemas de Equidade e Inclusão no ensino superior no Chile desde uma perspectiva que se situa mais próxima ao campo da sociologia da Educação. A partir daí, a perspectiva teórica que serve de marco orientador do estudo, manifesta a possibilidade de compreensão dos fenômenos sociais, desde as crenças e ações dos sujeitos. Também se entende que o logro da justiça numa sociedade determinada e na educação em particular, transcende a distribuição equitativa de recursos e requer que os atores educacionais, caracterizados por uma maior diversidade, reconheçam-se mutuamente uns aos outros como expressam os teóricos do reconhecimento (Honneth, 2010).Palavras-chave: Equidade, Inclusão, ensino superior, crenças, reconhecimento.Cultural diversity and equity in private universities withinclusion projectThe article discusses the issues of equity and inclusion in higher educationin Chile from a perspective closest to the field of sociology of education.Based on that, the theoretical perspective that serves as a guiding frameworkof the study provides the possibility of understanding social phenomenafrom individual beliefs and actions. It is also assumed that the achievementof justice in a given society and in education in particular transcends theequitable distribution of resources. It requires that educational actors,characterized as more diverse, are mutually recognized, as it is suggestedby recognition theorists (Honneth, 2010).Keywords: Equity, inclusion, higher education, beliefs, recognition.

Equity And Inclusion

Our collective experience with COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter has heightened awareness of deeply embedded racial and socioeconomic disparities in American businesses. This time, perhaps, sustained change is within reach. As organizations advance diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, an often overlooked focus of is the health status of employees and their families, where equitable access to high-value health benefits offerings should be available to all. This commentary provides guidance for employers to expand their DEI initiatives to include employee and family health and well-being as a central outcome measure. Employers should ensure that DEI efforts incorporate equitable benefits design, and objectively assess benefit design impact on healthcare utilization and cost. Additionally, employers must appreciate the workplace as a significant determinant of health—for lower income workers, in particular—with review of policies and practices to mitigate any discriminatory negative health or well-being impact. Further, race and ethnicity data should be incorporated in health benefits data analysis to understand more clearly the differential outcomes of health management offerings on these different sub-populations. Finally, social needs data should be incorporated into strategic benefits planning to better understand gaps and opportunities to foster greater benefits equity. The provided recommendations can support employer goals of achieving greater equity and value in workforce health, measurably contributing to business success.

Equity And Inclusion

The Diversity Committee of HFES has led sessions at the Annual Meeting for the past three years focused on improving diversity, equity and inclusion in the society as well as providing support to human factors and ergonomics (HF/E) researchers and practitioners who aim to apply HF/E knowledge and principles to improve diversity, equity and inclusion through their work. In this panel, we bring together researchers actively engaged in designing technology and systems by considering issues of diversity, equity and inclusion to share insights and methods. Topics include the thoughtful design of sampling strategies and research approaches, alternative and participatory methods to understand the impact of automation and technology on equity, scoping design problems to be inclusive and equitable through interdisciplinary partnerships, and the application of sociotechnical system design and team science to develop interdisciplinary teams. By sharing our experiences, we hope to prepare others to successfully approach these topics.
