Course details
Equity and equality in product is not easy work. It is nuanced and in many ways nascent. We’re not always sure how to approach it. In this course, Imani Dunbar, a leader in Equity at LinkedIn, shares the collective work that she has done with colleagues, counterparts in the industry, academics, and civil society, to highlight paths toward equal treatment and equitable outcomes in product.
Learn about the Product Treatment and Outcome framework, including the four key dimensions of treatment, interaction, environment, and outcomes. Explore the differences between equality and equity and build your understanding of equitable outcomes and equal treatment. Plus, find out how you can analyze interactions to continue building products that deliver more equitable outcomes. The journey towards equality and equity is ongoing and iterative. Through collective effort and shared commitment, we can advance how products are designed and performed to work more effectively for everyone.
