CHI 2021 Global community, Diversity and Inclusion (GDI) team is an expanded team of volunteers from the previous years’ Diversity and Inclusion Lunch team. As a result, the GDI team is planning to organize a series of events at CHI 2021. These include:
- CHI 2021 BLInner (Breakfast-Lunch-dInner). Attendees can register to attend an online cooking class live-streamed by an award winning chef, and learn about different cultures via food. More details to appear in the BLInner Blog by the end of March, 2021
- CHI 2021 Mentor Circle. First time attendees can sign-up for mentorship from an experienced CHI attendee prior to attending the conference, in a group Q & A format to make the most out of CHI 2021. More details to appear in the Mentor Circle Blog by the end of March, 2021
- CHI 2021 Allyship Playlist. Attendees can view original content created by non-government funded organisations and curated by the GDI team to understand how to create a “safe space”. More details to appear by mid April, 2021
- CHI 2021 Diversity Chat. This panel styled chat will focus on how to be a supportive community member in SIGCHI via understanding barriers to inclusion for diverse people. More details to appear by mid April, 2021
For any questions or concerns please reach out to us.
