Study Notes

Stereotypes

  • Stereotypes are generalizations about a group based on an image, often inaccurate.
  • These generalizations are frequently wrong about individual characteristics within the group.

Core and Secondary Variations

  • People have varying degrees of choice in characteristics.
  • Core variations are essential in forming one's identity and often less changeable.
  • Secondary variations are more changeable and involve greater personal choice.
  • Age is an example of a core variation.

Ethnicity

  • Ethnicity is not a biological difference.
  • It is a false concept to think that ethnicity is based on biology.

Ageism

  • Ageism is discrimination based solely on chronological age.
  • This includes judging roles and capabilities based solely on age.

Intersectionality

  • It's a theory examining the interconnectedness of social and cultural constructs.
  • Inequalities stem from multiple levels of interaction.
  • Diverse dimensions are commonly identified by people; for example, race, gender, and socioeconomic status.
  • Intersectionality helps leaders understand social challenges are not isolated. They are intertwined experiences.
  • It supports inclusivity in various aspects.

Inclusive Leadership

  • Inclusive leadership is a continuous approach that welcomes all members, celebrating their contributions.

Language

  • Language impacts leadership at all levels.
  • It also shapes perceptions of the world.

Inclusive Strategies for Leaders (Levels)

  • Levels of strategies include macro, meso, and micro.
  • Micro involves direct interaction with individuals, programs, activities, and experiences. Staff members must have a thorough understanding of diversity and inclusion.
  • Meso involves agency and administrative practices, such as facility design or policies. Universal design is essential for all people, providing equitable use, flexibility, and intuitive information.
  • Macro involves community-wide partnerships and efforts. Community leaders understand and acknowledge the needs of all members. Social justice creates genuine fairness, respect and dignity.
  • Policies and procedures should be fairly and equitably implemented.
  • Marketing materials and communication efforts should reflect the diversity of the community and provide information relevant to potential participants.
  • Ongoing assessment and evaluation can support continued striving for inclusion.

  • It helps to identify specific areas of a program, facility or service needing adjustments for inclusion.
  • Useful questions are provided that support inclusion, including:
    • Can all people approach, enter, and use the facilities, programs, and services?
    • Is our language accurate, sensitive, and positive?
    • Is everyone invited?
    • Do we train our staff on diversity and inclusion?
    • Do our policies or practices unintentionally discriminate or exclude?
    • Do we have an inclusive registration process?
