Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity

DIVERSITY – EQUITY – INCLUSION – HUMAN RIGHTS – EQUALITY – INTERSECTIONALITY – ACCESSIBILITY – RECONCILIATION

The University and your classrooms will need you to ensure that all student voices are given equal space and recognition, all students are seen as the unique persons they are who come with their diverse backgrounds, ideas, perspectives, and ways of knowing, which will not only enrich the learning interactions your students have with you and each other on our campus, but also allow for the growth and change that is necessary to make Canada a more socially just and equitable place than it currently is.

Resources and Information shared by the U of L Dean, School of Graduate Studies & Postdoctoral Affairs; Associate Vice President (Research), Jackie Rice:

The U of L is a member of the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI), a group that will be carrying out some surveys and system reviews for us in the near future funded by an EDI grant from NSERC.  Because we are a member some of their resources are provided to us for free (with a few exceptions as noted below).    Instructor-led (virtual) courses are also available at a cost, and Heather Takahashi could probably provide more information on those if there was interest.
