Diversity and Inclusion in Art & Design
This web page is a continually evolving document of activities, ideas, initiatives, and more focused on social justice, diversity, inclusion, and Black Lives Matter in art and design. This resource began in June 2020 as a faculty-driven response to long-standing issues of diversity, equity, and representation in our country and in our community.
We welcome your voices and your engagement. To add to this list, contribute to the work of this group, or ask a question, please email artdesign@ecu.edu.
