CNEI- Allies in Teaching Institutions
DESCRIPTION
The past three years have brought North Americans a new round of awakening to issues of inequity. The pandemic highlighted the social determinants of health, the death of George Floyd triggered the Black Lives Matter movement and ground penetrating radar began to prove the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calculation that at least 6000 Indigenous children died in Residential Schools. Canadian nurses had their own wake up call when the family of Atikamekw mother of seven Joyce Echaquan released a recording of a nurse subjecting her to racial slurs as she died. These events have renewed the sense of urgency for those who are working at moving our institutions and professions toward equity.
Most successful equity movements are led by people who face a particular form of oppression directly supported by allies, who do not experience that form of oppression themselves, but are ready to use their privilege and position to move institutions towards equity. This course is about becoming an ally in an institutional teaching setting: in the classroom, in supervision settings, among colleagues and in leadership positions.
