Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Field Guide: Stories of Lived Experiences

AEE will be hosting a book launch party via Zoom on May 15, 2023 at 5:00pm EST. This party will celebrate the work of the team and will introduce some of the authors featured in the guide.
Created for leaders, practitioners, and researchers working with groups to address the challenges of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in their programs and organizations.
​​The Association for Experiential Education invites you to utilize the The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Field Guide: Stories of Lived Experience as a tool to engage groups working in the outdoors, classrooms, or boardrooms in DEIB training. It is a conversation starter, a source of inspiration, and a call to action. The guide includes personal reflections by over 40 authors in the areas of:

These individuals share their lived experiences with racism, sexism, heterosexism, gender identity, ableism, and ageism. They provide counternarratives to some of the common embedded practices in professions using experiential education. Readers are challenged to dig deep, engage, and listen to the voices with open hearts and minds to begin to make personal and systemic changes. The guide contains a glossary of terms and social justice quotes to help spark discussion, reflection, and action.

Envisioned by Dr. Nina Roberts to be used by those in need of a resource for DEIB training, this guide is Nina's legacy. In the initial stages of this project, Nina's energy waned due to the progression of her cancer. Nina paved the way for so many people to advance diversity and inclusion in the outdoors. She strove for equity and belonging for all. She asked that her social justice torch be carried forward. Please lift up her torch and use this book to continue her work.

"For Feldman, there was a big gap that people weren't aware of in risk management. She found that there were shining DEI statements and risk management plans, but they weren't talking to each other. Feldman noticed that risks are not limited to environmental uncertainties, but social ones too... Feldman wanted a guide that reflected the dynamic world of language.

Perhaps the most important feature of this guide is its ability to help us educate ourselves on potentially lesser known histories of phrases or words that are regularly used outdoors. As writers, the last thing we want to do is unintentionally offend our subjects or readers. Feldman explains, "if you're going to use [the guide], use it intentionally. Know that you're making a choice in your language and you're not just being passive." "
