Maawanji-idiwag (They come together): Institutional Approaches to Decolonizing Curricula is a virtual discussion, where a panel of academics and practitioners experienced in theoretical decolonization and who have taken concrete steps and actions to decolonize curricula in their respective institutions will comment on will discuss opportunities and challenges for institutional approaches and practices to decolonize curricula.

Register here. The book that will be discussed is Thomas King's The Inconvenient Indian. This book club will be facilitated by Angel Hammoud on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, from 12:00 p.m.

In collaboration with the President’s Anti-Racism Taskforce (PART), we will be hosting a panel discussion on intersectionality (the convergence of two or more identities within a person) and its effects on health and wellbeing.

The panel discussion will highlight the importance of policy changes and governance transformations in addressing structural racism. The discussion will focus on gaps in policies, governance structures, and cultures that contribute to systemic racism; recommendations to include Indigenous, Black, and other racialized voices into governance, senior leadership, and other decision-making bodies; and ways to embed equity, diversity, inclusiveness, anti-racism, anti-oppression, and decolonization into University policies and procedures. 

Join us for a special edition of Research Talks featuring Michaëlle Jean, Chancellor, St. Paul’s University College, University of Waterloo and former Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada.
