Welcome to the EDI-R Podcast & Video Hub

Our video and podcast series offer a deep dive into the historical forces, systemic challenges, and evolving ideas of identity and belonging that shape our society.

This hub offers powerful discussions and fresh perspectives that ignite learning, curiosity, and change, featuring standout content from the EDI-R office—including the Amplify and The Curve podcasts, as well as our Gender Equity video series. Together, these platforms invite audiences to explore diverse lived experiences, confront difficult conversations, and unpack the systemic forces and cultural dynamics that shape how we understand ourselves and others. From the roots of inequality to the complexities of identity and belonging, each episode—whether audio or video—encourages critical reflection and dialogue, drawing on insights from a wide range of experts and community voices. The result is a space for deeper understanding and a more honest reckoning with the issues that define our shared world.

Whether you're here to spark new ideas or gain insights, these podcasts and videos offer a wealth of knowledge and inspiration for everyone.
