๐ฅณ The first episode of DEIJ Hot Takes is finally here!๐
โSeek to understand, not only to be understoodโ
In our inaugural episode of DEIJ Hot Takes, Angeline Aow guides us through a critical approach to achieving belonging in a way that does not marginalise others.
We discuss the reality of Othering for both majority and minority identities and how to make constructive use of the resulting frustration and anger to create belonging for all identities.

- Belonging gained by Othering leads to a breakdown of a community.
- The creation of a communal identity is an act of welcoming people into what we are, not rejecting what we believe we are not.
- Existing alongside different perspectives is a necessity for inclusive communities.
- The polarisation that we see in our communities is often an expression of frustration and anger, which if engaged with constructively, can lead to growth and development.
