Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE) is pleased to announce the publication of “Humber Polytechnic’s Applied Research Program: An Autoethnography Of Participants’ Reflections And Experiences” by Mira Kapetanovic BA, BSc, MSc, EdD, Fatima Momin, LLM, Georges Livanos M.E.Sc., P.Eng., Kehinde O. Ladipo, PhD, Natasha K. Frank, MN, BScN, BSc, Meshanda Ellison BSCJ/PG CERT-ADR, Gurpreet Kaur M.Sc.,Akshay Khosla, M.Sc., Susan MacGregor, MDEM, MBA, Priscilla Enetomhe, MSc.

Abstract:

As a group of 10 applied researchers, faculty, and essential support staff at Humber Polytechnic, we share our enlightening experiences, working together in a collaborative setting to acquire knowledge on applied research practices. Our work is a testament to the power of collaboration, as we have used a collaborative and engaging autoethnographic model to disseminate our experiences of seven weeks. Although our reflections are independently composed pieces of work, they are observations of the collective work we completed during our participation in the Applied Research Program designed and hosted by Humber Polytechnic in Toronto, Canada.

Humber Polytechnic is the only post-secondary institution in Canada offering The Disability Impact on Career & Employment (D.I.C.E.) questionnaire, a self-assessment tool that focuses on career decision-making for learners with disabilities. While numerous career-focused tools exist, D.I.C.E. is the only one that assesses the impact of functional limitations related to disabilities, assesses how those limitations impact career choices, and makes recommendations for workplace accommodations to support success. 

Academic & Career Services offers D.I.C.E. support for learners to bolster their employability pursuits. D.I.C.E. is free to full- and part-time students who want to demonstrate their potential to an employer through effective self-advocacy around disclosing and requesting accommodations.

After completing D.I.C.E. online, students are encouraged to follow up with our Student Success Advisor to review and rehearse how to use these results when advocating for accommodations.

If you would like to refer a student for D.I.C.E., please contact Elaine, Student Success Advisor, at elaine.belanger-porter@humber.ca.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Carrington Christmas as the Indigenous Curriculum & Pedagogy Specialist. Carrington will join the Humber community in her new position on December 9, 2024  

Carrington Christmas (Black Scotian-Mi’kmaw and German) is a neurodivergent aunty, stepmom, dog mom, storyteller, and gamer extraordinaire. A member of the urban Indigenous community of Tkaronto, she was born and raised in Mississauga and has deep family connections to Springhill and Digby, Nova Scotia, and Herbert, Saskatchewan. These places and the stories they hold are integral to her sense of identity and belonging and the interwoven histories that inform her work and worldview.

Carrington’s education journey began as a youth in the Friendship Centre Movement, where she experienced the transformative power of community and relationship-building. Over the past decade, she has worked at grassroots, provincial, national, and international levels, contributing to curriculum and instructional design, facilitation, and professional development. These experiences have informed her approach, grounded in radical tenderness, relational accountability, and the power of storytelling as a tool for change.

Carrington holds a Master of Education in Urban Indigenous Education from York University, where she deepened her understanding of the systemic changes needed to decolonize education. For her, education is a continuous act of care that nurtures relationships, cultivates learning, and paves the way for our collective liberation.

Please join me in congratulating Carrington in her new role.
