As part of the University’s commitment to accessibility and inclusion, the Equity Office is offering a series of workshops on accessibility and disability. These workshops will support staff and faculty in their shared responsibility to creating an accessible campus community.
Our two-part anti-racism workshops are held online and in-person on both campuses. In the first session participants learn about the theories that form our contemporary ideas around race and racism history and its manifestations and maintenance in the workplace. The second part looks at how to promote and implement anti-racism best practices through reflections scenarios. The goal of this program is to foster awareness, understanding, and adoption of anti-racism best practices across the campus community with foundational knowledge and tools.
The Anti-Racism Concentric Learning Series is an intensive cohort program for staff members committed to fostering an inclusive and anti-racist campus community. Participants will actively engage in a series of workshops aimed at deepening their understanding of systemic racism, promoting cultural competence, and enhancing interpersonal skills. Participants will benefit from shared experiences, collaboration, relationship building, and conversations beyond the surface level.
Participants must register for a 30-minute information session in order to attend the series

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.
