A recommendation stemming from the EDI Taskforce was for Humber to establish a group for people who identify as white and/or as having white skin privilege to:

  1. Critically engage with whiteness and white privilege
  2. Continue unlearning racism and internalized dominance
  3. Hold each other accountable for anti-racist change and develop strategies for liberation
  4. Identify ways to support Humber’s EDI Framework and Strategy

We wanted to let the community know that an initial working group has been formed to suggest how this group might take shape at Humber. The working group is composed of white-identified faculty, administrative, and support staff who expressed an interest in decolonization and anti-racist work at Humber. They are working under the advisement of Humber’s Centre for Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion and the EDI Taskforce.

In the fall of 2021, the group will formally launch for the broader community and a call for membership will take place. The shape of the group will evolve with the voices of its membership.

Please reach to one of the leads if you have interest in becoming a member. 

Proposed launch: November 2021

Reactivation - Fall 2021

REACTIVATION is back! After such an amazing reaction to the 12 original works created by Humber students in our first iteration back in the spring, we've decided to turn this project into an annual call running twice a year with the fall and winter semesters.

What is REACTIVATION? This project brings together a group of multi-disciplinary Humber students to explore how disciplines can inspire creation in one another while working completely separated.

“REACTIVATION” begins with reactivating our Permanent Art Collection by activating student collaboration. Taking a handful of collection artworks, we have tasked a small group of student creatives to create musical works in direct reaction to these artworks; focusing in on their initial reaction and creating work based directly on that inspiration. From there, these musical pieces will be given to a second group of students to react in the same way, only this time in the form of animation or digital artworks. This process then repeats for other a final group of students to create works in any creative writing field.

Want to check out the previous REACTIVATION cohort? Visit the gallery.


Open to all Humber students, this project will take place from October 4 to December 3, with the final online exhibition going live December 8. 

Applications are open now at: http://humbergalleries.ca/reactivation
Deadline to apply is Friday, September 24 at 11:59 p.m. EST

Space is limited and participants will be selected by a panel of Humber staff. All creatives chosen will be given a $100 honourarium for their participation.

For more info please visit humbergalleries.ca/reactivation or contact casey.norris@humber.ca.

Enhancing Institutional EDI Knowledge of Disability and Academic Accessibility 

Did you receive an Accommodation Letter? Unsure how to proceed? Review the steps below.  

  • Send an email to the student to acknowledge receipt of the Accommodation Letter. 

  • Carefully review the Accommodation Letter. If you identify an accommodation that you feel may conflict with the essential requirements of your course, contact Accessible Learning Services to discuss. 

  • Advise the student that they are welcome to contact you to discuss the accommodations. 

  • For Humber faculty, most of your students’ accommodation letters are visible on the Faculty Web Portal.  

Visit our ALS Information for Faculty website to learn more about the Accommodation Letter process. 

Please email us at accessible-learning@humber.ca with suggestions for key accessibility-related topics that you would like us to address through the Communiqué.
