Through interactive exercises and discussions, the Men’s Circle will explore some of the ways in which men can become leaders in creating a safer campus for everyone. The content is geared toward unpacking harmful constructs of masculinity and increasing understanding of the impact of an individual’s behaviour on themselves and others.

Participants learn more about gender identity/expression, sexual identity, homophobia, heterosexism, bi-phobia, transphobia and how these intersect with other identities.

This introductory workshop is designed to give staff, students, and faculty a broad understanding of equity and how our interactions with one another are shaped by systems of oppression, power, and privilege. During our discussion, we will explore the ways in which inequities, biases, and microaggressions affect our lives as individuals and communities.

This interactive workshop will enable you to build conflict management and communication skills by assessing the context of the situation, planning a difficult conversation, and having the conversation in a way that reduces tension and facilitates a productive conversation.

Audience: Undergraduate Students, Staff, Faculty

December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. This year will mark the 30th anniversary of the tragic events that took place in 1989 at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal.

Anti-racism is an ongoing and active process of recognizing and addressing individual, institutional, and systemic racism. Engaging in this active process requires an awareness of how race and racism affects the lived experience of racialized groups and how white people contribute, actively or unconsciously, to racism. This workshop explores how to engage critically in anti-racism and enact anti-racist practices on campus.
