- the idea of pushing underrepresented individuals to the front of group photos so they are more visible

- rubyji One of things I have been seeing a lot that I think is relevant to our work here, is that people think of discrimination as something individuals do. They think “I don’t hate anyone, I’m not racist/sexist.” But we struggle to see how racism and sexism are built into our systems so that they perpetuate themselves without anyone needing to be a racist.
I thought this was a great example of how this happens: http://www.bnd.com/news/nation-world/national/article89562297.html - drnikki can we give out swag to people for listening to a systemic inequalities talk? (modeled on Pantheon's sales presentations in vendor areas)
