Abstract: This practice brief offers a guide to organizations and projects that want to better align their cultures with values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Rooted in the intuitive, theoretically grounded view of culture as a tool kit that people use to solve various problems, the authors offer examples of cultural change work emerging from the National Science Foundation-funded Inclusive Graduate Education Network. We present lessons learned that may be instructive for other efforts, as well as recommended actions and specific questions for collective reflection and discussion.
