Collective Action Learning Hub

The Office of EDIB is hosting a Belonging Series this fall through its Collective Action Learning Hub and you are invited! 

Register now for a powerful, interactive session on how to foster belonging across our campus community—from classrooms to offices and everywhere in between. 

Cultivating Spaces of Belonging is designed for faculty, staff, and campus leaders who are ready to embed belonging into the everyday culture of Humber. This isn't just about awareness—it's about action. 

Through storytelling, reflection, and hands-on activities, you'll:  

  • Examine the difference between diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and why belonging is essential for transformative learning and leadership. 

  • Explore practical strategies for cultivating belonging at the classroom, team, and institutional levels. 

  • Identify barriers that prevent individuals from experiencing belonging, particularly for underserved and equity-seeking communities. 

  • Practice frameworks for courageous communication, inclusive facilitation, and building relational trust. 

  • Participants will leave with concrete tools and strategies they can apply immediately to create environments where every learner, colleague, and community member feels a true sense of belonging. 

Join us for this impactful conversation! Visit our events page for information about future offerings.

What Wasn’t Said: Rethinking Two Decades of Media in Afghanistan

In the two decades following the fall of the Taliban in 2001, Afghanistan witnessed an explosion of media outlets, celebrated as one of the country’s greatest democratic achievements. However, behind the headlines and broadcasts lies a more complicated truth, one of missed opportunities, structural inequalities, and unchallenged power.

In this lecture, Zahra Nader will offer a critical reflection on the role media played in shaping public perception and culture, its heavy dependence on donor funding, and the failure to build a sustainable, independent press. She will also examine how Afghan media remained largely male-dominated, sidelining women journalists from decision-making. By asking what wasn’t said, whose voices were left out and why, this conversation invites us to reimagine what the media in Afghanistan could still do.
