After completing my 2023 summer reflections, I am excited to extend my project into a more collaborative initiative with Oxford’s Africa Society and Oxford’s Hispanic Society. 2024 has been a crucial year for many student groups, as attempting to bridge cultural gaps becomes more challenging, however, with the help of these student organization’s executive boards, we are in the process of creating a student organization’s guide to DEI efforts, with the ultimate goal of establishing a formal, intersectional framework for student groups to adopt in their constitution and practice as members. 

By emphasizing collaboration and integrating equal amounts of input into this year’s project, we have been able to workshop tangible solutions to addressing difficult conversations and promoting a greater degree of inclusivity. The research I conducted last year was incredibly informative, and I am looking forward to continue collaborating with my peers in creating these guide!
