Foundations of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

In this course, students learn how to make decisions and act equitably in their personal and professional lives. Students engage in critical reflection, constructive dialogue and problem-solving within a framework of empowerment. This course provides a forum for students to reflect on how membership in marginalized or equity-seeking groups identified as protected areas by human rights legislation (e.g., race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, ability, language, faith and culture) experience systemic oppression in many forms. Through the use of problem-based learning strategies, students collectively develop perspectives and approaches to working with and across social identities and positionalities. The Foundations in EDI course draws on both theory and lived experience to foster competencies such as critical self-reflection and self-direction.
