When you hear the word “diversity”, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, religion wasn’t your first thought, or even your second one at that. We live in a world, work jobs, attend classes, and are a part of organizations that are religiously diverse, yet this identity is often forgotten or labeled as too taboo to talk about with others. In order to be effective leaders, influencers, and DEI practitioners, we have to critically examine how we are cultivating communities that both value and engage diverse religious, spiritual, and secular (RSS) worldviews. Join us for this interactive workshop as we explore how RSS worldviews shape our experiences and the spaces that we occupy.
Learning Objectives:
– Examine one’s own RSS worldview
– Explore how RSS worldviews have shaped one’s own and other’s experiences
– Brainstorm strategies to engage diverse RSS worldviews to cultivate inclusive communities

In this talk, Keren McGinty examines the relationship between sexual harassment, gender, and multiple religions, highlighting women of different faiths. She explores the actions of American Jewish, Muslim, and Christian women who broke the silence about sexual misconduct and abuse of power by male co-religionists.
Keren R. McGinity serves as the Interfaith Specialist at the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, the umbrella organization for 550 congregations across North America. She is also a research associate at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute at Brandeis University, where she taught American Studies. Her pioneering books, Still Jewish: A History of Women & Intermarriage in America and Marrying Out: Jewish Men, Intermarriage, and Fatherhood provided groundbreaking analyses about Jewish continuity by focusing on gender and change over time.
