This course on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging will provide a starting point for those interested in further exploration of EDIB and its evolution within social, economic and professional contexts. It addresses foundational concepts such as equal opportunity, bias, power, privilege and broader movements including anti-racism, de-colonization and reconciliation, 2S&LGBTQ+ and accessibility. The goal is for participants to become more confident with current terminology, available resources and practical ways to further their learning in order to move to action.
