Question 1

What is the difference between Racial + Equitecture ® and Equitecture ®?

Answer

The collections differ in 4 ways: • expectations and norms around talking explicitly about race and its intersections • the shape of the productive zone of disequilibrium used to design learning experiences • intensity modulation in design and execution • pace of disruption of patterns that no longer serve Please see this table for more info.

Question 2

What does Racial + mean?

Answer

The plus sign (+) is a signifier The Equitect,™ LLC uses to notate race and its intersections with other social designations that shape human experience. It includes, but is not limited to, gender, class, ability, age, nationality, ethnicity, political affiliation, citizenship, (im)migration journey/displacement, phenotype, hair type, skin tone, and language/dialect/accent. It is a symbol of all the ways structures shape identities to evolve, shift, sublimate, disappear, emerge, get assigned, and ascribed.

Question 3

How do I know which service - Racial + Equitecture ® or Equitecture ® - is most appropriate for my organization?

Answer

When you read the drop down menu for each pathway, reflect on: • What have you noticed in your context? Which items best resonate with your observations? • What seems compelling about the contrast between what is listed here in both pathways and what you've observed in your context? • What is the kind of 'path to equity' that you hypothesize your organization can stand in terms of intensity, pace, and willingness? • To the extent that language is meaningful and a sign - does your organization largely talk about Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion? Racial Equity and Systemic Racism?
