Using A Social Justice Lens to Examine Our Work in the Department of Bioregion
The purpose of this lens is to provide a framework to guide what we do as Diplomats within the Department of Bioregion. Whether the work is posting a blog, creating a project, or leading a round table discussion, it is vital that we are examining that work with a social justice lens. It provides a common language to communicate about our work and ensures we are moving beyond short-term, immediate reaction to long term, thoughtful changes.
