Special Episode: Ember Roundtable at University of Colorado Denver

Culture Stew

In this special episode of Culture Stew, recorded at the University of Colorado Denver, we explore the transformative power of Ember: Igniting and Sustaining a Community of Equity Practitioners. We had the privilege of sitting down with all four facilitators, Maria Morukian, Chris Haigh, Aaron Barlin and Carmen Foster, to dive into discussions about the critical role of community in driving equity work, the concept of emergent change, and the journey toward gaining a liberatory mindset.

Our conversation touched on how change often arises organically through collaboration and mutual support, emphasizing that real, lasting transformation requires not just action, but deep, intentional reflection on how we engage with systems of power and privilege.

Special Thanks: A heartfelt thank you to UC Denver and the Learning Commons for providing a beautiful, inspiring space to make this conversation possible. Special thanks to Kerri Clarke and Dennis DeBay for their support, time, and thoughtful planning, as well as the recording studio for making this a seamless experience. Without their partnership, this podcast and the Ember program would not have been the same.
