Inclusive Practices

We offer consultation and programming to support instructors in integrating equitable and inclusive practices in course design and facilitation.

We value work that is done in partnership with departments, so we can address specific contexts and needs. Our priorities in this domain align with the University’s Strategic Equity and Anti-Racism (StEAR) Framework. Specifically, we are leading work to advance the following strategic actions:

  • 2.1E: Develop educational resources on gender diversity and inclusion in the classroom
  • 2.2B: Review and enhance, where needed, resources to incorporate EDI in academic programs and pedagogy
  • 2.2E: Develop resources on racio-linguistic diversity and discrimination counter-pedagogy

We are collaborating with campus partners to support additional strategic actions.
