Irina Duskova: Reflections from Diversity Agents’ Online Clinic: Strengthening and Advancing Anti-Racist Practices

I’m Irina Duskova, a theatre producer and diversity agent living in Finland. I write this article as a reflection on the diversity clinics that we, as Diversity Agent 2.0 course students, held in January and February 2022. These diversity clinics were focused on recognizing and tackling discrimination, learning more about diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and anti-racist practices. Inspired by online Museum Clinic Making the history of disability visible in museums (2020), organized by the project Vammaisuuden vaiettu historia (The silenced history of disability) and Culture for All, the idea of an online training clinic was added to the course curriculum.
