Please join me in welcoming Kennisha Archer who will be working in the position of Analyst, Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion. Kennisha is a graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University with a Bachelor of Social Work and she is currently pursuing a post-graduate certificate in Human Resources. Her background includes five years in youth-centered agencies with a focus on education, homelessness, crisis management, sexual health and gender-based violence. Operating from a trauma-informed, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive framework, Kennisha uses these skills to strive toward cultivating spaces focused on learning, unlearning, and self-exploration. She believes being an advocate for change means unapologetic, bold, and integrity-based actions that prioritize the needs of the community. In her spare time, Kennisha can be found doing yoga, writing film reviews, and watching an unhealthy amount of reality TV.

Kennisha starts her position on July 4, 2022 and will report to the Manager, Education & Training, Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion.

Kind regards,

Nancy Simms
Director, Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion

To our research and innovation community,

The Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE), Humber Press, Office of Research & Innovation (ORI), has compiled a comprehensive and detailed JIPE Submissions Handbook which we have the pleasure of sharing widely with our research and innovation community. You may make submissions to JIPE.ca at any time.

Have you participated in or conducted a research/innovation study? Do you have research you want to share? Every research project, study or initiative is a journey. Researchers and innovators embark on this journey, and their work advances essential knowledge and changes the way we understand the world.

JIPE welcomes research stories and manuscripts from seasoned and emerging researchers from across the polytechnic and community college sectors, both within and outside Canada. Students/research assistants are also encouraged and invited to submit in collaboration with a faculty member/researcher.

JIPE publishes original research papers, review articles, brief reports, book reviews and our “micro-dissemination” options: innovation spotlights and more.

As part of Humber’s sustainability plan, JIPE will only be published electronically to reduce paper consumption. JIPE is an online, open-access journal for double-blind peer-reviewed submissions/manuscripts that mobilize knowledge and insights generated by the global polytechnic community. The articles published in this open journal are published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).
