Diversity___Inclusion (002)

So you think you're diverse? Examining your Institution's Diversity and Inclusion practice.

Presenter: Kathleen Hylen

There is a lot of pressure on universities today to be more diverse and inclusive in their study body – not just in terms of race but also gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, social class, national origin, and more. According to Peterson’s, “Diversity means that the campus is viewed as a welcoming environment for anyone who wants to apply. Having an inclusive mission at an educational institution says something progressive and important about their campus that they value diversity and will allow their students to express themselves as they see fit.”

Diversity & Inclusion in Higher Education in Institutions Framed with Institutional Racism

Presenter: Fazela Haniff

Within the international higher education space, there are compelling proposals to revitalize internationalization by internationalizing the curricula. However, institutions must first address their structural biases and their institutional racial history. While it would indeed be good to have BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) representation in International offices, the institutions have to make the whole environment conducive by addressing institutional racism.
