Students will then engage in an exercise of building a toolkit which contributes to this evolution: From summarizing key cases that define what anti-Black racism looks like before the criminal justice system to researching novel ways in of considering the prevalence of anti-Black racism in substantive law, such as in the interpretation of the actus reus of an offence. Annamaria Enenajor is a Partner at Ruby Shiller Enenajor, Barristers and a visiting professor at Osgoode Hall Law School.

Guest Speaker Event - Tsedale M. Melaku

Guest Speaker Event - Tsedale M. Melaku

When:
Monday, February 12, 2024
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Where:
Goodes Hall
Room: Room 108
Find on Campus Map
Description:

The highly publicized killing of Black people in the spring of 2020 sparked a national and global social movement to address racial violence.  This led to heightened national discourse about the deeply entrenched nature of systemic racism in American institutions, prompting organizations to make public statements supporting racial justice.  While an essential first step in addressing systemic inequities within the workplace, these statements are primarily performative and do little to combat systemic racist practices and policies within their ranks.  For instance, research has shown that women of color, and particularly Black women, experience daily racial and gendered aggressions that negatively impact their career trajectories.

Tsedale M. Melaku is a Sociologist, Assistant Professor of Management at the Zicklin School of Business, Baruch College (CUNY), and author of You Don't Look Like a Lawyer: Black Women and Systemic Gendered Racism, which reflects the emphasis of her scholarly interests on race, gender, class, workplace inequities, intersectionality, and organizations. Her interdisciplinary research on women in the workplace unites three strands of significant sociological and management inquiry: diversity in the workplace, women in leadership positions, and the impact of systemic racism on advancement opportunities.

Three years into the launch of the policy, this session will outline initial policy implementation details, including requirement timelines and ongoing feedback efforts from the Canadian research and RDM community. Additionally, we will feature the results of the Queen’s RDM survey (2022) that investigated the level of knowledge of the policy and the level of preparedness to meet the forthcoming requirements. We will also outline initial steps to respond to the survey results through various initiatives, such as the Queen’s Data Champions (2022-2023) information series and the development of new resources. Participants will also have an opportunity to ask the presenters questions and engage in discussions about current RDM context and the benefits of implementing RDM wise practices.
