Two years ago we launched the Dean’s Action Table on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (DAT-EDI). After two years of consultations (e.g. faculty wide EDIIA survey) literature reviews, conversations, and hard work, the seven working groups have developed transformative goals and recommendations for Queen’s Health Sciences. Their work and goals will be showcased on October 6th, and you’re invited.
 
Registration is now open for the Dean's Action Table on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion forum on October 6 (8:00am to 4:00pm).. The forum will be available in a hybrid format: join is virtually or in person at the School of Medicine building (in person space is limited).
 
The DAT-EDI forum is designed to be collaborative, interactive, accessible, and inclusive.  The event will offer a space to learn about the DAT-EDI goals and engage working group on their findings.  In addition, Stephanie Nixon is hosting a Keynote Conversation, Transformative change-making vs performative busy-work: How do we know which EDIIA path we're on?, with Jeffrey Ross and Llana James as panelists.  

With your participation, I know the DAT-EDI forum will contribute to an ongoing cultural shift in QHS. The DAT-EDI Forum is the launch of the QHS EDIIA Action Plan.  Your contributions and feedback will help us fulfill our ongoing commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Indigeneity and Accessibility.
