Join the Anti-Oppression Knowledge Integrators working group for an open discussion about the place of anti-oppression work (e.g. decolonization, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) at the University of Waterloo.

Globally, anti-oppression work is under attack – it is time to ask, “why does on-campus anti-oppression work matter?”

Come join the discussion: March 7th at 2:30 pm EV2-2002.

Join us on Wednesday, March 5th from 11:00 am - 12:00 pm as we launch the Local Futures project, exploring how universities, municipalities, and community organizations can work collectively to leverage the Sustainable Development Goals and drive impact towards creating a more prosperous and sustainable future.

Join us to celebrate how the University of Waterloo, in collaboration with Microsoft, is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the experience of co-op and work-integrated learning (WIL) students. As Canada’s most innovative university, and a global leader in co-op, Waterloo is at the forefront of new WIL advancements using AI. This partnership with Microsoft exemplifies our dedication to breaking new ground with technologies designed to enhance the student experience.

The kitchen has long been a site of both nourishment and defiance—a space where survival, culture, and activism converge. This talk explores how food serves as a powerful tool of resistance, from the resourceful cooking of enslaved and oppressed peoples to the current and impending food injustice movements that call to questions folks understandings of a tariff and bird flu.
