This year, UBC is hosting the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, an annual convergence of over 70 scholarly associations – and there’s no shortage of amazing sessions covering equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) topics.
Thanks to our colleagues at the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology who compiled the following list of EDI related events taking place during Congress.
Of course, we’re biased to highlight these three events that we’ve helped support directly.
