In January you may have read the article on Skwigly titled “Inclusion & Diversity in UK Animation Workforce: A Response”, where the author Tanya Scott explained why she was so surprised to read the results of the survey we published last September, which didn’t match her experiences. So we asked Tanya and industry colleague Ash to share their thoughts on the subject. Some helpful links from Tanya & Ash: Verna Meyers TED talk on bias and self-awareness, which is wonderful: https://www.ted.com/talks/verna_myers_how_to_overcome_our_biases_walk_boldly_toward_them/up-next?language=en A really great article about differentiating between diversity and inclusion: https://hbr.org/2017/02/diversity-doesnt-stick-without-inclusion A great LGBTQI+ charity delivering educational workshops to schools and businesses: https://www.diversityrolemodels.org/ The UK's leading anti-racism educational charity: https://www.theredcard.org/ Solid advice on being an ally in the workplace and beyond: http://www.guidetoallyship.com/ Basic 101 introduction to LGBTQ+ vocabulary: https://www.stonewall.org.uk/help-advice/glossary-terms A book for those who want to understand queer identities: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Queer-Graphic-Introducing-Meg-John-Barker/dp/1785780719 A really good book giving insight into the origins of structural racism especially in the UK: https://www.amazon.com/Longer-Talking-White-People-About-ebook/dp/B06WWPX2YF
