Looking for a standalone or PFS scenario good for exploring DEI

Longtime lurker, first time poster. As it says in the title, I'm looking for a standalone adventure or PFS scenario that's conducive to discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I've played pathfinder for a few years now, and it has been my first TTRPG experience. I want to use pathfinder as a springboard for what's called a CLE, or 'Continuing Legal Education', centered on DEI. Most CLE programs are dry and straightforward, but I'd like to present them in more of a variety show format. Given my love for pathfinder, I'd like to try to include it in this first talk!

The game itself doesn't have to necessarily address DEI directly, but the more it can reflect a real-world situation, the easier the segway into those discussions.

I know the world can largely be what you make of it, but I keep getting a bit lost in the weeds so any help is much appreciated!

Season 1 of Pathfinder Society 2E has several scenarios introducing playable ancestries that were stereotypically enemies. Instead, the scenarios highlight unique aspects of that ancestry's culture and give narrative to how they joined the Society. If people are familiar with RPGs in general but not PF(S)2, these can be a way of pointing out DEI.

1-05 (Trailblazer's Bounty): the PCs can befriend a tribe of orcs
1-07 (Flooded King's Court): the PCs petition a goblin chief for access to a theater
1-19 (Iolite Squad Alpha): the PCs engage in joint exercises with hobgoblins
1-23 (Star-Crossed Court): the PCs negotiate a trade agreement with the iruxi

Thanks so much! I'll give these a look.

Sorry for the delay, as a new poster I didn't see any notifications for your response, even though I thought I checked the post! Again, much appreciated!
