This year UW–Madison’s Diversity Forum will take place November 14 and 15, 2023 both online and in person at Union South. The theme for the 2023 conference will be Bridging the Divide: Realizing Belonging While Engaging Difference, in an effort to understand how we embrace shared problem solving and engage in constructive dialogue across a broad range of differences, from political to cultural to religious and more, to create living and learning communities characterized by a sense of inclusion and belonging.
Who Should Attend
The Diversity Forum welcomes the campus and greater community annually for a two-day, conference-style event that is free and open to the public. The goal of the Diversity Forum is to impart the latest knowledge and research in the diversity and inclusion fields, educate about perspectives and best practices for equity and social justice, and activate attendees to make positive changes in the world.
Attendees hear from authors, community organizers, activists, researchers, and others working in the areas of diversity, equity, social justice, and inclusion, as well as participate in engaging workshops and small group discussions to further their personal and professional growth and development and find new ways to make a positive impact on the world.
