Our Approach

What People Are Saying…

  • "Formally introducing new equity into any organization is a daunting task. Lucinda provided a framework that was approachable and realistic. The PAAM team now utilizes the tools we gained in our everyday decision making and how we welcome people into our space. "

    —Chris McCarthy, CEO

  • “The SIR has helped me think about how to build a stronger classroom community by giving me language, resources, and ideas that help students see each other as people and make my teaching more inclusive.”

    — Former Scholar in Residence

  • "We brought ILI in at a critical point in our growth, when we recognized the need for expert guidance to help us build systems and norms that reflect our belief that marine science is for everyone. As a research organization committed to innovation, we were drawn to ILI’s leadership at the forefront of a rapidly shifting movement to advance equity, collaboration, and accountability in the workplace. I heard consistently from staff that Lucinda was wonderful to talk with, that she opened up conversations, and that her approach allowed important issues and next steps to emerge naturally through the interview process."

    —Laura Stinson, Marine Research Organization

  • “I am a better teacher and human because of the SIR’s professional development, wisdom, and counsel. Their thoughtful feedback prepared me to talk about equity issues with my students and with colleagues in ways that afforded me a level of comfort that I had not previously experienced before. They helped me find resources that made my teaching practice more culturally responsive…The SIR has been the single most effective voice around issues of equity and justice for more than 10 years at the school district."
