Our events and workshops address equity topics along intersections such as race, disability, sex and gender. Join us in exchanges about faculty, staff and student equity experiences and explore ways to make Concordia a more inclusive community.
Please note that these events are for Concordia members only and some may be reserved to specific members of the Concordia community such as faculty, staff or students.
This series is a catalyst for navigating the nuances of equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility and turning awareness into tangible actions within higher education. This series is a dynamic roadmap for the entire Concordia community, fostering an inclusive environment in a variety of educational settings through informed dialogue and intentional practices.
Relationships with colleagues are valuable and often a source of satisfaction and sense of connection in the academy. Occasionally, these relationships are tested in minor and major ways with the potential for significant consequences both professionally and personally.
These sessions engage in open dialogue to better manage relationships specifically with colleagues. We will identify behaviours in the academic context, interpersonal and systemic, that are damaging to collegial spaces as well as some ways forward.
This session is for full-time faculty recruitment purposes only and is open to members of Department Hiring Committees (DHCs), Department Personnel Committees (DPCs), and Faculty Personnel and Tenure Committee (FPTC).
Pride at Work Canada is a national organization that empowers Canadian employers to build and sustain inclusive environments for 2SLGBTQIA+ employees and celebrate all employees regardless of gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
Scenario-based sessions are an active way to enhance interpersonal skills, share knowledge, learn from colleagues, and test concrete ways to respond to challenges we face at work. Participants will benefit from shared experiences, collaboration, relationship building, and deep conversation about range of topics such as ethical leadership, developing an equity practice, and navigating conflict.
A minimum of twelve faculty and/or staff participants are required to hold a session. Groups and departments are welcome to request a dedicated workshop. Sessions specifically designed for leaders, directors, and managers are also available.
