Education

Generating opportunities to elevate our individual and collective consciousness.
Whether we are training to acknowledge and mitigate unconscious bias, understanding and practicing anti-racism, engaging in book clubs and other internal discussions, or welcoming speakers on key issues, we are always learning. To be truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive, we must understand, accept, learn—and grow.

DEI Education Series

This monthly series focuses on celebrating heritage months and diving deep into issues of race, equity, and inclusion.

We've hosted a variety of speakers in this series, including a discussion with Nikole Hannah-Jones on The 1619 Project and a talk with "Caste" author Isabel Wilkerson where she discussed her book and her groundbreaking research. Other series highlights include a discussion of the Netflix documentary "Pray Away" (tackling the topic of conversion therapy), an event honoring veterans, and a session celebrating Black joy. View past sessions below.

Bias Interrupter Program

DWT has a formal "Bias Interrupter" program at Davis Wright Tremaine to address the challenge of mitigating biases in key processes at the firm. The program focuses on three of the most critical processes in the advancement, development, and retention of talent: evaluations, partnership admission, and compensation. It seeks to formally empower participants in these processes to "throw" bias flags and call for intentional discussions and decisions.
