How might your lived experience inform the perspectives you bring to this collaborative learning environment?
The Arrowhead Symposium had historically been attended by those with access to and status in political and academic power structures, which has skewed older, whiter, and toward those with greater levels of career and income security than the whole of those who work in transportation, land use, and the environment. Over the past 5 years, the Arrowhead Steering Committee has sought to increase diversity at the symposium by increasing the participation of those who are early in their careers, those who work in advocacy and community organizing, people of color, those who identify as LGBTQ+, and others who have been marginalized from access to power.
