Humber’s 2018-2023 Strategic Plan commits the college to building a healthy and inclusive community by establishing and implementing an institutional EDI framework and strategy that addresses the needs of both students and employees. As part of that commitment, Humber is setting up a group for its employees who identify as white and/or as having white skin privilege to explore and dismantle white supremacy.
At its root, The Unlearning Circle aims to provide a space for white people to examine how they have been conditioned by their whiteness and how it shows up in their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and within their institutions. This group will work to help members unpack whiteness ideology and unlearn it.
Please join the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Taskforce at the upcoming virtual launch for this group:
Date: December 2
Time: 2 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Location: MS Teams
The agenda includes remarks from Christopher Whitaker, President and CEO; Lori Diduch and Jason Hunter, EDI Taskforce Executive Sponsors; Ian Crookshank, EDI Taskforce Co-Lead; and a video from The Unlearning Circle’s members.
Interested in unpacking white supremacy and privilege, how it is upheld, and learning about new ways of being and seeing the world? Join The Unlearning Circle by reaching out theunlearningcircle@humber.ca.
