The 2025-2026
Equity and Inclusion Virtual Speaker Series

Giddens School is a proud participating member of POCIS Northwest (People of Color in Independent Schools).

POCIS Northwest’s Equity and Inclusion Virtual Speaker Series offers our communities and beyond the opportunity to connect, learn, and engage in topics about equity, inclusion, and antiracist education and action.

The purpose of this series is to raise awareness, challenge ourselves, deepen our understanding, and empower our communities to advance their efforts in actively transforming systems into equitable, inclusive, and antiracist institutions. The program invites 4-5 speakers throughout the academic year, providing access to recognized authors and speakers who engage participants in complex topics through dialogue and cross-cultural communication.

The virtual speaker series is intended to foster a deeper understanding of the impact that racism and oppression have on our institutions and the broader society. These virtual events are free and accessible to all, regardless of POCIS Northwest membership.
