This means a higher presence of free radicals, or unstable atoms, in the body. While we can’t eliminate exposure to all toxins, this workshop will increase awareness of where these chemicals hide and how to minimize them in our environments.

DEI: Giving up getting it right in service of human dignity

In this presentation, we inquire into why that may be. Our broad assertion is that DEI efforts evoke resistance because, while intimately concerned with the well-being of human beings, efforts aren’t constituted inside a workable understanding of critical aspects of what it is to be a human being. Generally, these efforts are created from a view of how humans should be, how they ought to be, or how we want them to be.
