Room: D216

As a team consisting of two Black and one South Asian educator, we will unpack our experiences of working with difficult knowledges in higher education spaces. In this conversation, we will focus predominantly on our experiences of teaching pre-service teachers in the Faculty of Education through anti-racist, anti-colonial and other critical pedagogies. We will explore the divergent responses to such pedagogies, including the resistance to redefining which and whose knowledges matter and understanding epistemological positionings as they relate with dominant knowledges (Liou & Cutler, 2021).

How to Change the World student webinar: Why every career (urgently) needs a sustainability lens

When:
Tuesday, March 5, 2024
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Where:
ONLINE
Find on Campus Map
Description:

The vast majority of corporate leaders now expect that all of their employees will need sustainability knowledge and skills within the next two decades. That’s because companies today are embracing ambitious sustainability targets like never before… but only 17% of those companies say their employees currently have the knowledge and skills needed to hit those targets. If you’re not learning how to apply the knowledge and skills of your degree to tackle real-world sustainability challenges, then you’re missing out on the biggest career opportunities of the next two decades!

In this interactive webinar for Queen's students, How to Change the World co-founders Alana Heath and (Queen’s alum) Jason Blackstock will frame why sustainability has rapidly become the ‘fourth foundational skill set’ for a successful career; and they’ll provide practical advice on how everyone – from accountants to artists to aerospace engineers – can rapidly develop a sustainability lens for their future career.

Register for this interactive webinar focused on why every career (urgently) needs a sustainability lens!

This event is a part of Queen’s University’s participation in #SDGWeekCanada, a nation-wide commitment to mobilizing the #SDGs across campuses.

Where:
online
Find on Campus Map
Description:

The notion of success varies greatly across individuals, cultures and organizations. So why do many of us feel the pressure to adhere to a narrow definition of career success — one that prioritizes financial results and career progression over meaningful impact and fulfilling work? Is work-life balance actually within reach? How do we support other women along the way? 

This International Women’s Day, March 8, join Smith Business Insight at 1 p.m. (ET) for an empowering hour of conversation and reflection, featuring executive coach and brand strategist Jill Nykoliation, entrepreneur and corporate go-getter Lulu Liang and thought leader and architect of change Tanya van Biesen. Let’s talk about breaking barriers, overcoming career challenges and supporting each other to thrive in the workplace. Together, we can create a future where more women’s potential is recognized and rewarded.  

You will explore: 

  • How to define success for yourself, at work and beyond
  • How to foster a culture of support and collaboration in the workplace 
  • Steps to overcome common pitfalls that get in the way of true career fulfilment 
  • Ways to unlock your potential and break free from self-imposed barriers 
  • How to recognize the importance of balance both in your work and personal life 
  • Practical steps to becoming an ally to women on their journey to success
