E7: Unpacking the Rise of the JEDI (Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion) Order

About a year ago I learned about the use of JEDI (Justice, Equity Diversity and Inclusion) as an acronym to describe a new wave of diversity professionals. In this episode Alex and Dr. Jared Clemons (@jayctigerfan) explore some of the opportunities and limitations of this framing, including a discussion on the drawbacks of using JEDI to describe a movement intended to advance racial justice in the real world. Where did it come from? Is it appropriate? And would you join this JEDI order? We also discuss the broader implications of DEI work (diversity, equity and inclusion) and what it means for representation in Star Wars and in other areas of our lives like work, education, politics, etc.  READ UP ON IT: WHY THE TERM ‘JEDI’ IS PROBLEMATIC FOR DESCRIBING PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE JUSTICE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-the-term-jedi-is-problematic-for-describing-programs-that-promote-justice-equity-diversity-and-inclusion/] SUPPORT ABORTION FUNDS - People are organizing around abortion.

E3: "Too many Black people" in Fallen Order and an Attack of the Clones lovefest with Jordan (@Tbluepulser66)

In this week's episode, Jordan (@Tbluepulser66) and I celebrate our favorite moments from Attack of the Clones on the film's 20th anniversary and react to allegations about the creators of Jedi: Fallen Order suggesting there are too many Black people (2?!) in the game. Representation in leadership matters, y'all.  Check out the Bring Mace Windu Back shirt here: https://www.retrodesignco.co.uk/product/jackson-mace-windu-tshirt/ Follow Jordan on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok: @Tbluepulser66 Subscribe to the Star Wars Culture podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6cPUB3cr9D3miQTV2jb8qL Follow Views from the Sith on Instagram: @Viewsfromthesith For inquiries, viewsfromthesithpod@gmail.com

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
